I have an 8 byte string data field that is actually a date,, an example would be 20080101. How do I get that to display in a pretty way,, example would be 2008/01/01. Everything is a formula in Crystal,,so I assume this is also,, but I cannot find a clue anywhere, on how to do this.. everything talks about crystal recognizing the data as a date,,and it does not. So any help is appreiciated. Thanks in advance. I am using crystal XI, release 2.
