    Posted: 21 Aug 2009 at 8:18am

My date is pulling as a string not a date and looks like: 8/20/2009 or 11/7/2009. I need it to be 08202009 or 11072009 basically a MMDDYYYY format. How do I do that when the number of characters is always changing? This is the current code:

RIPARAM( "ReportDate" )
 
 
 - I have no clue what I'm doing, this is my first venture into Crystal.

Is the original field text or date type?

IF date type create a a formula field with ...
totext({table.DATEfield},"MMddyyyy")
