Formatting Date ...

edited February 2012 in General
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.

    Best Regards,

    Nico Cizik
