When a date on our esso database is blank, Crystal uses 12/31/99.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there any way to load this date into Crystal as the blank that exist on the database?<br><br>Your help will be greatly appreciated.
 
In Crystal Reports Designer there is an option on the Report-Options menu:<br>'Convert NULL Field to Default'<br><br>If this option is ticked then un-ticking it may resolve the problem, but beware, it may mess up other fields on your report.<br><br>If blank dates still appear as 12/31/99 then go to the offending field, left click and select 'Format-field Common',<br>and create a formula via the 'Suppress' formula button:<br><br>isnull({field})<br><br>This should suppress the field whenever it is blank.
