[Wendy]

Thanks Doug

But jst( dtd(datefield)+0,'2P0') brought it out as 50 not 05 :-(

Kind regards

the following might do it

dat(datefield,’D’)        day of month or one of the other date codes.
dtm(datefield).            day number in month
jst(dtm(datefield),’2P0’).   format with leading zero
