title: How to properly set ADODB.Recordset.Filter property for a DateTime value?
body: <p>I have an ADODB 2.x recordset and am trying to apply a filter to a DateTime column/field in the recordset.</p>
  
  <p>I do not know how the has configured their international date format settings in Windows.  From lots of googling, I am not entirely sure if the windows date format settings determines the required date format for the Filter property, or whether it is always expected in US date format.  (Of course, the MS documentation makes no note of this.)</p>
  
  <p>So, how does one properly write this line of code, so I don't have to worry what date format the user has configured in Windows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>rs.Filter = "StartDateTime &gt;= " &amp; dteStartDate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...where <strong>dteStartDate</strong> contains both a Date and Time component.</p>
