Question : Medium date in text field need to sort in query
I have a MS Access database that imports its data from another database. So all the fields in the table are text files so all the information imports as it was on the other database. I have a query that needs to be sorted by date. The date is typed in a "medium date - dd mmm yy" format, i need to have access sort that date but it is a text field so it only sorts it by the first number which is the day. I have tryed to set the format in the quesry and report to medium date, and then sort it but that does nothing. Please help.
