I'm stumped. I am trying to import an excel spreadsheet into an access table. The excel spreadsheet has a date column in the format mm/dd/yyyy. The Access sheet has a date column in the format mm/dd/yyyy. However, when I attempt to load the data, the date comes in as a series of numbers. If you change the format of the date column in excel to "General," the same series of numbers appears. I have spent hours trying to get Access to import it as a date. Please assist
