Carl, I used to just chop up the field into parts. Define fields screen: Yr1 = datefield/10000 Mon1= (datefield/100)-(Yr1*100) Day1= datefield-(Yr1*10000)-(Mon1*100) NewDate= Mon1*10000+Day1*100+Yr1 eric.delong@pmsi-services.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Date conversion technique in QUERY Author: <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > at INET_WACO Date: 2/9/99 6:43 AM anyone have a quick and dirty way to convert a date (6,0) in a YYMMDD format to a MMDDYY format for printing in a Query? I know I can multiply by 100.0001, however Query thinks it knows better and won't let you chop off the left most 2 significant digits, which makes this technique not work. (I get the dreaded +++++++++ as the output for this field). Surely someone has solved this little problem.
