Hi,
I have an unbound text box into which I insert some text and a date, specifically:

="We will keep the date pencilled in until " & [DateEntered]+15 & ". If you would like a firm booking please, before that date, either pay the Discounted Amount or the Booking Deposit."

However the result is that [DateEntered]+15 includes the hours minutes and seconds, which I do not want. I just want the English format dd/mm/yy.
How do I format the [DatedEntered]+15 within the text box?
[DateEntered] is supposed to be formatted within the original table in the appropriate manner, but for some reason or other it changes within the above described text box.
With many thanks
David
 
use the Format command,
format([DateEntered]+15 , "dd/mm/yy")
 
Thank you Allan, you are a star. I was sure that it was something like your suggestion, but I could not work out the syntax. Brilliant, it works perfectly. Thank you.
David
