I have a query that has a date and time field. What I would like to do is
read the only the date, for example; 11/12/2008 12:34:67pm. I tried this test1: left([orderdate1], 10) and I would get back something like 11/12/2008 1. So what I would like to do is read up to the space.

Try to not use a text/string function (Left()) on a numeric or date
field/value. If you want the date part only, use the DateValue() function to set the time part to 0. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "John" wrote: I have a query that has a date and time field.

DisplayDateOnly  ateValue([DateField])or you could use DisplayDateOnly:Format([DateField],"mm/dd/yyyy") -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail
