Bruce, The date variable that displays as "January 31, 2014" is formatted as: mmmm d, yyyy (Most likely copied and pasted from sample applications) Report Designer | Right-Click on System Variable (Date) | Display Format ... Notice the Display format ... Now you can change the display format as you see fit. Hope that helps!
