To display a date
1. Select or create a Date/Time field.
2. On the Control tab , select "Display Date."
Select User's settings to use the preferences from the users' workstations.
Select Custom to customize the display.
If you select Custom, choose display options. As you select options, the sample will change to show you what the user will see.
Note If you specify a comma as a date separator (for example: 11,15,98) then you must use a semi-colon if you are separating multiple dates in a list (for example: 11,15,98; 12,15,98; 1,15,99). If you specify a semi-colon as the date separator, then you must use a comma to separate multiple values in the list.
