	Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me out with a problem I am having with a date. I am using a new software system where the date is formatted as a number, and comes across as 1120323, being todays date. Idealy I would like to show it as 03/23/12. Any help would be very much appreciated!
	Thank you, Rhonda

	I have never seen the extra one at the beginning of the number, but the formula below will covert it to string in the format you want. local stringvar thedate := totext({thedate}); mid(thedate,4,2))+"/"+right(thedate,2)+"/"+mid(thedate,2,2) Of course {thedate} field would be replaced by your date field. I hope this helps.
