SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2 to link a table from Microsoft Access (all versions), you may get incorrect values when the selected fields are defined as DATE data type fields.



CAUSE
The Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2 is returning a SQL_TYPE_DATE,TIME,TIMESTAMP data type.

This data type is not known by Microsoft Access (all versions), because Access is only ODBC 2.0 compliant. Microsoft Access maps this data type to the default data type TEXT.
