Answer : How to format Date In Crystal 11

You'll need to create a parameter that is of type Date (not DateTime) in order to get the calendar pop up to become availabe.  You can then use that parameter and change the format for either the parameter or the database field to select on (I would suggest the database field).

Setup a formula to conver the database field to a date as follows...

StringVar y;
STringVar m;
STringVar d;

y :=Left({@frmlString}, 2);

if Cdbl(y) < 70 Then
    y := "20" + y
else
    y := "19" + y;

m := Mid({@frmlString}, 3, 2);

d := Right({@frmlString}, 2);

Date(y & "-" & m& "-" &  d)


replacing {@ftmlString} with the database field.  You can then use the select expert comparing the date parameter and this formula in the place of the database field.

Good luck!
