Patti. I have the setting for date set up as:
DATE FORMAT MM/DD/YYYY And when I do not have a specific format for a report field, it displays correctly as 07/17/2013. You might want to exit R:Base and re-start your session (and maybe the computer too) and see if it helps.

Good news that there is a workaround, but OMG!!!! I have to do that for all the reports and dates - hundreds of reports!!!!. It would be nice, and logical, if it would default to my Rbase date format, like it used to. Then I could change the ones that were "special." Patti From: Javier Valencia <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 3:07 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: date display problem 9.5 Right click on the report DATE field in question, select “Display Format” and then you can select from the pre-set format or create your own. This is independent of any setting and you have absolute control.

My settings are: DATE format mm/dd/yy DATE sequence MMDDYY Century threshold YEAR is 15 Default CENTURY is 19 But when it prints out, I get 4 character years and it skips the preceding zeros in the month and day fields. This makes many reports difficult to read and in many cases there's not enough space allowed for a 10-character date. How can I get Jan 1st, 2001 to be displayed as 01/01/01 again? I don't want 1/1/2001. Thanks, Patti
