    Posted: 23 Mar 2012 at 10:26am
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.
