Formatting Date ...

rbuser

Hi All,

i managed to get everything working finally, just one thing.

I want to set the date format to "07 Feb 2012" at the moment the date is
backwards "2012-02-07"

What do i set the displayfield property too, ive tried "dd mmm yyyy"

Thank you in advance.

Hi Trevor,

The display format of a DBText is dependent on the type of field that is
being accessed. If you have a DateTime field, then placing the "dd mmm
yyyy" display format should function correctly. (You can test this by
placing a System Variable on your report and giving this display format).

If this is a string field or numeric field, it will be handled
differently. You can trace into the ppDisplayFormat.pas file to see how
your field is being processed.
