	I need to add spaces in a date field between each number. I need it to look like this Y Y Y Y M M D D Currently it looks like YYYYMMDD I have tried to use the Spacing Character Spacing Exactly and set that to 2. Maybe I have to to set it to a larger #? Any other ideas?

	This is how I got it to work! totext({AP_CheckWrk.CheckDate}, "yyyyMMdd") mid({@Date to text},1,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},2,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},3,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},4,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},5,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},6,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},7,1)&" "&mid({@Date to text},8,1)

	glad you got a solution. I incorrectly assumed it was already a text field. Picture only works with strings. For future options you could convert to text as you did and use the pciture on that. A little easier than inserting the " ". picture(totext({AP_CheckWrk.CheckDate}, "yyyyMMdd"),"x x x x x x x x")
