My [Period] field is the source for both "Month" and "Year". The period is formatted as a number, in the source table; consisting of YearMonth (ie. 200610 - for October 2006.) IF I use "left([period],4)" to generate year, and "right([period],2)" to generate month........does this change the data type? Using left function on a long integer, should still keep the result in long integer format, wouldn't it? Keith E. Williamson | Assist.

It is a Union Query that is the source for the report. I can't change that, as I can't bring that up in Design view...only SQL view. Keith E. Williamson | Assist.

Create a temporary table and then run the query, open the result table in design mode and you will see the data types.
