Default Date Format

I have two things that I’m trying to do in an unbound text box in my report.
I have this =Format([Forms]![frmVariance]![txtMo2],"q""Qtr""yyyy") which
returns “1QTR2010” but I want it to look like “Qtr 1 2010”. I tried this
“Qtr” “q” "yyyy" but Access changed it back to "q""Qtr""yyyy".

I also need the same thing for the previous year’s quarter like “Qtr 1 2009”.



You do not need to use Format function to do that. Just set
the text box to =[Forms]![frmVariance]![txtMo2]
and then set the text box's Format property to a custom
format like:
"Qtr" q yyyy

If you must use the Format function, I think it should be:
=Format([Forms]![frmVariance]![txtMo2],"""Qtr"" q yyyy")
