The Date Format problem!

I have three columns in my table named tbl_Birthday of data in MS Access:

Table name: tbl_Birthday

ID_Bdate | myDate | Bdate
6543 | | 19750420
4534 | | 19760214

I'm working in Access and I want to write a query that takes the "Bdate" column is formated for TEXT, with the dates in the rows as above. The "myDate" column is in Date/Time format and I want to take all the dates in the "Bdate" column and put them in the myDate column but have it insert it into the "myDate" column in the format like: "04/20/1975" with slashes WHERE the "BDate" data refers to the "ID_Bdate". In a nutshell, when I move the "Bdate" to the "myDate" column it has to be in the right row where the "ID_Bdate" - simply just move the date over to the row next to it in the right format.

Any one please help! Thanks all!

Andre"
