i have several forms on my DB that are based on a select query's with a criteria of 'date' I have tried to set the format for this as 'short date' to avoid having to put in the / every time (this works on a report) but despite saving this format when i close the query the info is lost and so the format doesn't work. is there a way of formating this directly in the cel ie '[Date] format dd/mm/yy'
