Default convert american dates from a query

Your correct - my mistake on this with regards to not recognizing "DEC".

suggested solutions:

Thanks for your interest Tom,

They don't work because those functions accept the argument as along as
it is recognised as a valid expresion of a date, and that I guess is
related to the regional settings... In the non american excel they will
give an error: type mismatch.


what I need is a function that "knows" it always receive and american
date...
