Extended date formatting

Date formatting options seems limited. Apart from coding some PHP stuff in the onrecord event, is there are quicker way?

Re: Extended date formatting

Can you be more specific? you mean that the available date formats for a field of type date are limited? what format do you need?

Re: Extended date formatting

The standard selections from the drop down combos (AU region) are ddmmyyyy, ddmmyy, mmyy, yy etc., ie they are limited to the numerical day. month, year values.

I need to display the long format, ie Mon 4th April 2010. I’ve worked around this by formatting a field in the onrecord event. But it would be nice if the standard IDE formatting selections were more comprehensive.
