Default ACCESS 2003 : Settings at databse level

Hi,
Can we set few properties (as we have NLS in Oracle) at database level in
ACCESS 2003?
Most important is setting a date format for the whole database (though
regional setting is one option but i want to do that programatically or once
time by setting that at database level)

Thanks!

Default ACCESS 2003 : Settings at databse level

Access gets its date strictly through Regional Settings and, in fact, it
ignores the Regional Settings in SQL statements (dates must be in mm/dd/yyyy
format, or an unambiguous format such as yyyy-mm-dd or dd mmm yyyy)
