You want to do something like this: return FormatDate(Today(), "ld, lm, dd, yyyy");
The first parameter is a Date object, and the second is a single string in which the codes such as 'ld' are converted to parts of the corresponding output string. If the date is already in a string form, such as a data field, you want to first call DateFromString, and then use FormatDate on the Date object, like so: return FormatDate(DateFromString(Field("Birthdate")), "ld, lm, dd, yyyy"); Dan -- Users of FusionPro Desktop have unlimited free email support.
