Yeah thanks Alan - I am currently using something similar.. extract(day from COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE)||'/'||extract(month from COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE)||'/'||extract(year from COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE) as COLLECT_DELIVER_DATE
Just a bit "wordy" / "verbose" and a bit shocked that you have to go to those lengths to simply format a date field tbh As Helen suggests, I will ask in the PhP forum(s) and see if there is not some magic switch / setting that I am missing to do this "out of the box" or alternatively - a custom library perhaps (though I am loathe to introduce custom DLL;s as it complicates installation.) Thanks for the feedback.. Cheers!
