Pull date only out of a timestamp

[chemparrot]

I have a timestamp field that auto-enters when I create a new record. I want to pull the date portion of the timestamp using a calculation, but it seems that timestamps don't evaluate as text, so GetAsDate doesn't work, and I don't see any function that would do this specifically. Anyone know how to get the date from a timestamp? I guess I could always change the field from a timestamp to auto-entering the current date, but really, there should be a way to do this.

GetAsDate(LeftWords( timestampfield; 1 ))

Why not just have your date field use the option of Creation Date?

Duh! I forgot to divvy the timestamp into the individual "words"...so it does behave as a text field after all. Thanks!

The idea of the new timestamp is to combine the fields so one doesn't have to create two separate fields (creation date and creation time). It's a nifty feature.
