This could be fixed as suggested several times; assume the user is always
correct. IE no conversions.
So you would simply get what you give, instead of something unexpected:

Print CDate("11/11/2022 13:00:00")     -> 11.11.2022 13:00:00
Print CDate("08/11/2022 13:00:00")     -> 08.11.2022 13:00:00

But I think it would need its own class or set of methods to maintain the
old way people are using.
