When I am trying to create a SQL statement using various tables, my date format comes out as a 5 digit number format, i.e 34567. I need to convert the date to DD/MM/YY. The table that i am using is called Projects and the fields that I am using are called Pr_start and Pr_end. Because I have joins, they are called Projects.Pr_Start and Projects.Pr_end.Please could you show me how I would write the script to convert this date to the DD/MM/YY format.Kind regardsRobert Fish" |
