Default Convert string to date

Question: I'm working with calendar data exported from Outlook. For some reason, Outlook exports the data as text, not a date/time variable, so I need to convert the data to date/time before I can work with it.

I tried the following:

Private Sub Clean1_Click()
Dim datStartDate2 As Date
Dim strStartDate As String

StartDate.SetFocus
strStartDate = StartDate.Text
datStartDate2 = CDate(strStartDate)
StartDate2.SetFocus
StartDate2.Text = datStartDate

End Sub

but keep coming up with a type mismatch error.

I also tried DateValue instead of CDate but still got a type mismatch error.

I've tried dim-ing datStartDate2 as Date and as Var but still get that error.

Any suggestions?

First, are you aware that you can link an Excel worksheet or Named Range as a table in Access?
This would save you the import.

Second, the append query could be something like this:

INSERT INTO tblCalendarA
(StartDate,
StartTime,
EndTime)
SELECT
MID(StartDate, 2),
MID(StartTime, 2),
MID(EndTime, 2)
FROM
