Date Display

[onecolor]

Hello, I have a field called "Start Date", in FM the field is defined as "Date", I have my format as "Thu, Dec 25, 1997". When a user enters the date on the web page, it is sent over as "12/25/1997". In my FM file the date is displayed correctly (Thu, Dec 25, 1997), but when I pull a report (over the web) that has the "Start Date" from a CDML file, the date is sent back as "12/25/1997", how do I get the date pushed back as "Thu, Dec 25, 1997" (into my web page).

I would greatly appreciate any help, I'm too embarrassed to say what I've done to make this work (lets just say my date field is "text" and I have a "case" statement), but now I really need this field to be a "Date" field.

Try using:

[FMP-Field: Start Date, format]

Good Luck.

I believe I was first to point to undocumented "format" feature

Before I discovered that I was creating text calculation field for any data format I wish.

There was/is problem with entering data, because WC recognizes only US data format in some operations

I'll give this a try on Monday morning.
