FILLIN Field Results
I'm trying to make a FILLIN field that will put date results without
leading zeroes in the day of the month. What I have so far is { FILLIN \# ##/##/## } which putting in leading zeroes (020305) displays: 2/03/05. Is it possible to make it come out 2/3/05? The date has to be manually entered as it is a contact date and not necessarily the current date. -- Tonya Marshall |

Tonya,.
Why not {Fillin \@ M\D\YY} and use any standard date format. e..g., 02.03.05 February 3, 2005 2/03/2005 etc. 020305 is not a standard format. |

I agree, but AFAIK the users will have to use a standard date format in
order for the date picture switch to reconize it. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support Tonya Marshall wrote: Greg wrote: Tonya,.
