Formatter will "do that" only for displaying your date. And how it comes out of database depends on database interface. In general you receive some standardized date/time. If you want to get specifically formatted date out of the database you should ask database to do it. Though I can't imagine why one may need that kind of formatting.

Hi guys, I am new to flex and have been having a huge learning curve. So be gentle. I'm kinda new to REAL OO. But I know CF very well. So with that said I'm stuck on dates. I am trying to format a date coming out of a database so it will look pretty. i.e. dd/mm/yyyy I have an <mx:datefield id="DateIn" text="remoteService.qryDrawdown.lastResult[0].DateIn" formatString="DD/MM/YYYY"></mx:datefield> Now I know that the formatString paramater does that for when you choose it but how do you format it coming out of the database. Currently its "Tue Feb 28 00:00:00 GMT" etc etc. I found the <mx:dateFormater> tag but haven't been able to get it working correctly. Any Advise would be great!! Jeremy
