Title: date format
Post by: pooja on 29 Mar 2010 03:19:15 PM
we have parameter display date FROm and TO: and are in
Mar-29-2010 format. we changed them in  two digits format like
03-29-2010 using Data format in properties.
But, even though we spplird dste properties, some dates are not
changing, I mean still in Mar-29-2010 format.
Any advice for this issues, please

thankyou in advance

Can you be more specific about when the format is not being applied?  Are we talking about in a list, chart, crosstab, layout calculation?  When does it work and when do you get the problem?

try setting the data format for that object to Date.  Then in properties, scroll down to the bottom and find 'Pattern'.  Enter this format MM/dd/yyyy and OK.  it should return the object in 01/01/2010 format.
