I had the same problem.  I could apply formatting in the Studio for a text
field but I lost that capability when I converted it to an HREF.  In my
case, the data was returned by a stored procedure and the solution was
simply to change the stored procedure to provide me with the format I
needed.  Simple.

                Subject:        [ND] Changing the format of Date Time field
associated to a datao bject


                        I have a dataobject having 5 fields. One among them
is a date time
                field. This dataobject
                is bound to a repeated object in a ND page. The repeated
object has 5
                display fields all of which
                are href's. The requirement is the date time object should
be formatted like
                this: 
                'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM PM ' CST
                Eg: 05/05/1999 10:00 AM CST

                I have set the partial text override and the sql text select
is being
                overwritten in the wizard

                whenever I give TO_CHAR(DateField, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM PM') ||
' CST' , it
                gives me the following
                software messages in my page.

                Can anyone please help me on this.

                Thanks in advance,
