I have read many posts online about how to accomplish this but I am still failing. I have a memo field that is generated via Labtech and it is a date in the form mm/dd/yyyy. I have tried to convert to a number, string and date and all fail once I try to insert into a report. I am currently evaluating the 2008 version and support suggested I upgrade to the 2011 trial. I am hoping that this will be resolved in the newer version as I saw posts suggesting so. Open to any suggestions in the meantime.
