Actually the best answer to this question is that when using the SSMA Migration aid (as I am doing and failed to mention above) you need to specify DateTime for Access Date field conversions in the data mapping section. If you use date or datetime2 or any other data mapping the date fields come over to sql as dates but appear to Access as text. That's why they are formatted YYYY/MM/DD rather than the reverse as they were in Access frontend and backend. They are not only backwards but can't be used in date calculations as well. SSMA is a great migration tool but there are some differences to note on the default field type mappings.
