What happens when you have MM/DD/YYYY? That's 10 char. The catch is when it's M/M/YYYY because the time starts at position 10 and you pick up an extra digit. Any dates over 10/9, 11/9 and 12/9 loose the last char of the year when you use a size of 9. If you export with code then you could search the field for a space and pick up just the date portion of the field.

I tried date/time and both the date and the time displayed in the table. The export is dome by the transfertext method. The reason I used the word date is because the csv file generated is loaded into another program where the field names need to match and the field name in that program is date. I solved the problem by making the date field nine characters. Maybe not the best way but it chops of the time part of date/time and shows only the date in the csv file.

(I just tried this in A2K and in my case it did end up as a String) How are you doing the Export? Incudentally, it is not good practice to use "Date" as a field name since it is a reserved word with a specific meaining in Access. It can bite you in all sorts of ways. -- Stuart -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
