ACCESS R and dates

Fri, Sep 30, 2005 10:53 AM

I have used the RODBC package to read in data I have stored in an Access file. When I am using data from files other than ACCESS I have no problem using the survival package to work with dates; however, with the ACCESS data the dates are reading-in in the following format: "2004-02-11 Pacific Standard Time". How do I remove the "Pacific Standard Time" part in ACCESS or R so that I can coerce the data into a workable format?  Any suggestions?
