Hi There-
I tried a couple of examples in the forum but couldn't figure it out. I have a medical imaging device that exports date in text format as YYYYMMDD and I need to convert it into the Long Date to give me day of the week, etc. I tried using CDate(), no luck. My field is Exam Date .. Do we have any thoughts on things I can try? Regards, Daniel |

This is a case where you'll have to parse out the elements of the string before you can convert it to a date.
DateSerial(Left([Exam Date],4), Mid([Exam Date],5,2), Right([Exam Date],2)) Then, you can display it as the long date format you need. |
