For today, for example, I just want a string with: May 15, 2012 How do I get that from a date object? Searched but could not find anything. _________________ Currently using: Windows XP Pro SP3 Real Studio 2011 Release 4 Enterprise - have not started compiling on the mac yet Top Jym Post subject: Re: Formal date with no day of weekPosted: Tue May 15, 2012 4:53 pm Joined: Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:19 pm Posts: 3042 Global Variable - Months() As String //Add the months Jan - Dec Dim MyDate As String = Months(d.Month - 1)+ " " + str(d.Day) + ", " + str(d.Year) I personally would Extend the date but some don't like doing that, either way works.

So even if you set your computer to show or not show the DOW... someone else computer could display differently. On OSX the DEFAULT for Abbreviated Date is "May 15,2012" Of course you could always write your own function that will display the date however your (or your end-user) wants, regardless of the Operating system settings. _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
