DATE FIELD DEFAULT

[adjoe]

When I have a date field that is blank, on the report I get the date 12/30/1899.
How can I fix this?

The value '12/30/1899' is probably what your database uses to represent a null date entry. Use a formula like:
"if {datefield} = '12/30/1899' then '' else {datefield}"
You may have to experiment to get the punctuation right.

Under file, options, make sure the "convert null field value to default" is NOT checked, and then you will get blank dates instead of this default value. Software Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine
