Another date question

[crazybake]

I have a date field which I have formatted using the "date" menu item. Itshows a date as (i.e.January 24, 1998). I then have a calculation field which contains 2 other text fields and this date field. So, I used the function DatetoText(mydatefield) & text1 & text2. However the date always comes as (1/24/98). How can I keep the long formatting when using the calc field?

Version: v6.x

Platform: Mac OS X Jaguar

I don't see that behavior. I'm running the same version of FileMaker and Panther, both use US/English for the language.

I defined a date field, entered 2/2/97 in it.

I made a calculation field with DateToText() and it always shows 2/2/1997. How I format the date field has no effect on the calc field.

Is your calculation field set so the Calculated result is Text?
