Hello,
I am wondering if anybody can have a look to my issue and help me with the code.
here is the situation:
I have a simple but old access '97 DB (mdb) who is feed by an third party program.
I want to collect some data out of it present it in a datagrid and export this into a excel file.

This all works fine, except for one thing:
One of the column (0) has dates in it (ex.25/11/2015) but the mdb is missconfigured and gives a 5digit (numbers) in stead of.

now may question is how can change the gridview so that it adapts the colomn and transforms the 5digits into a real date.

Here is my code:
Code:
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Progwsrb\Data\WSRB.mdb"

    Dim MyConn As OleDbConnection
    Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
    Dim ds As DataSet
    Dim tables As DataTableCollection
    Dim source1 As New BindingSource

    Private Sub btn_filter_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_filter.Click
        MyConn = New OleDbConnection
        MyConn.ConnectionString = connString
        ds = New DataSet
        tables = ds.Tables
        da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select AfvalDatum, AfvalUur, AfvalWeegnr, AfvalNummerplaat, AfvalProduct, AfvalAantalkg, AfvalGemeente, AfvalKlantCode from [TblAfval] WHERE AfvalKlantCode = 'RABACO' ORDER BY AfvalKlantCode", MyConn) 'Change items to your database name

        da.Fill(ds, "TblAfval") 'Change items to your database name
        Dim view As New DataView(tables(0))
        source1.DataSource = view
        DataGridView1.DataSource = view

        DataGridView1.Columns(0).ValueType = GetType(Date)

    End Sub
Here are 2 screenshot out of excel to make it more clear:
