Hi all,

Im doing a VB 6.0 app with CR 9.0
I need to save and retreieve dates in DD-MM-YYYY format.
So i have set the date format of the date time picker to DDMMYYYY and in the database it self the format is defined as dd-mm-yyyy.

Is there any way to define the format in CR ?? i guess thats the issue im having because, say , i need to save the date as 2nd December 2009,
so if i select that particular date, date time piceker's text box value is displaed as 2-12-2009.
And in the database it is stored as 2/12/2009... BUT in the Report it is displayed as 12 th February 2009 :( :(

could anybody please help me on this ... thanks a lot in advance ..

Regards
saj

if I understand correctly, the value is being displayed incorrectly in the report.  Change the display format.  if that doesn't work, then create a formula like:
 
totext({table.field}, "dd-MM-yyyy") //this works only for a date type field.
