Hi
Please help
I have tried all the formulas in the other post but none work. I either get
a circular error or shows #ref or #format.

My dates look like 03-JAN-98
I need them to be date format like 01/03/98 or 01/03/1998.
I will be importing into vfp8 and need it to be in date format.

Thanks
Sherry
