	I’m in Crystal. I have a string “20100402” than I need converted into 04/02/2010. I’m using CDate(“20100402”) and it doesn’t like that. It looks like it takes it but then it gives me a bad date srting error. Any help is appreciated.

	You have to break up the string before making it a date. example: date(val(left({Date},4)),val( mid({Date},5,2)),val(right({Date},2))). I hope this helps.
