Hi Dee,

Do you want to view the date or the time?

A simple way is to set the FORMAT of the field to Date or Time format. In that way, you will only see the relevant part of the data. You could also add a input mask, to further structure the view.

Thanks Richard,

I want to view the date, I've used your suggestion when it is a one off table.

I'm creating tables through queries so the formatting changes when I refresh the queries, so thought there may be a formula I could put into the query so I don't have to amend the tables each time.

Hi Dee

If you right click on the date field in the field section of design view, you should be able to set the format.

Let me know if that works for you or not.

Regards

Richard
