How to convert Java TimeStamp into ms access Date?

I would like to insert a java Timestamp into an msaccess database but I am getting an error which is listed below. The ms-access field has been set to a DATE datatype. Any advise would be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Here's my DAO class method:

public void addSale(String saleDetails, String saleTotal, Timestamp saleTimestamp) 
                    throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {

Statement myStatement = getConnection();
String sql = "INSERT INTO Sale (SaleDetails, SaleTotal, SaleTimestamp)"
            + " VALUES ('"+saleDetails+"','"+saleTotal+"','"+saleTimestamp+"')";

myStatement.executeUpdate(sql);
closeConnection();

My DTO method:

public void storeSale(String saleDetails, String saleTotal, Timestamp saleTimestamp){
   DAO dao = DAO.getDAO();
   try {
      dao.addSale(saleDetails, saleTotal, saleTimestamp);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Sale.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

My Timestamp method:

public Timestamp addTimestamp(){ 
    java.util.Date date= new java.util.Date();
return new Timestamp(date.getTime());
}

Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

You need to convert your java.util.Data to a java.sql.Date or if you need the precision of the java.sql.Timestamp change your Database type to TIMESTAMP

some code to create a java.sql.Date:

 java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
 long t = today.getTime();
 java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(t);

You can then put the java.sql.Date in your Database, did always work for me.

For Info:

java.sql.Date corresponds to SQL DATE it stores years, months and days while hour, minute, second and millisecond are ignored. Additionally sql.Date isn't tied to timezones.
java.sql.Time corresponds to SQL TIME andonly contains information about hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
java.sql.Timestamp corresponds to SQL TIMESTAMP which is the date to the nanosecond (note that util.Date only supports milliseconds!).
