Thank you pavandyke. That worked! Now I am trying to remove the thousand seperator in the year output. I now have:
"Q" & TOTEXT(DatePart("Q",{Registration_List.DateOfClass}), 0) & "-" & TOTEXT(DatePart ("YYYY",{Registration_List.DateOfClass} ),0)
but the output is : "Q1-2,008" and want "Q1-2008" better yet "Q1-08" any help would be great.
