OPO: FORMAT( DATE, date_format_string )... Bug?...

Hello,

I tried using the format function but so far nothing I have tried seems to work...

For example...

Format( DATE, "mm/dd/yy" )

According to the documentation I expect something like: 03-31-96

What I get is

mmddyy

There is an example in the sample applications which uses that exact syntax to format a date field...

I tried "mmddyy" (eg no separator) as the format string as well as other formats and orders for mdy. They all return the format string (minus any separators if specified) rather than a formatted string!

Another "bug"?

Peter
