M$-Access'97 and TIMESTAMPs

Hi, all!

I created a table with a TIMESTAMP data type to use with M$-Access, because
Access uses such field to control concurrent access on records.
But I have a problem M$-Access doesn't recognize a TIMESTAMP type, it see
such fields as "text" instead of "date/time".
Is there a way to make Access recognize TIMESTAMPs ?
                                                           Thanks, Jose'
