You can create a custom display format for date that looks like "MMM-YYYY"
.... but if your underlying data is a date/time field, you will still be
storing a date/time value.

Mar-2010 is not a date.

If you are trying to create a query that requires selection criteria in that
format, why? Is there a reason not to just search for a date in March,
2010?

And how are you looking to collect that selection criterion for your query?

I'd like to create my own Date / Time format. The Excel Equivalent is
MMM-YYYY (Mar-2010).

How can I change/create a new date format that will be displayed MMM-YYYY?

I want to be able to query this table and run criteria based on the date.

Thanks.
