Thank you for the reply. However, it still isn't working correctly for me. I think I may have explained the problem wrong. When I go in to edit a record, the date displays with the %m/%d/%Y format as I want. But, when I select a date from the calendar widget it places the date into the field in %Y-%d-%m format. What I really want to do is force the calendar date widget to represent its date in %m/%d/%Y format. Sorry for the misleading....

I'm sure I just missed this somewhere, but I can't find how to control
the date format for date fields in CRUD-created forms.

db.py....

driverUnit = db.define_table('driverUnit',
      Field('driverUnitId', 'id'),
      Field('driverId', db.driver, required=True, label='Driver'),
      Field('unitId', db.unit, required=True, label='Unit'),
      Field('start', 'date', required=True, label='Started On'))

How it displays in my form...

I'd like it to be mm/dd/yyyy format but don't know how to tell it to
display that way.  What I'm finding on the web is just confusing me more.
