    The cause is the non US date setting in the Regional setting (See the Control panel).
    Access will "flip" dates having an illegal month without any warning, so:
    31/12/2002 becomes 12/31/2000, but
    11/03/2002 will stay 11/03/2000

    Best to save the text field when in the Regional settings the dates are in "US format" into a date type field.
