I have several fields I am trying to format in formulas. The problem is when i convert them to text, the formatting keeps changing from what I want.

Cstr(int(year(currentdate)))+ "AYP Status"

How do i remove the columns and decimals within the formula? I have tried changing the global settings, but the when it is run on another persons version of crystal, it is goofed up again.
 
You can control data format using commands like Totext({your.date}, "dd MMM yyyy") etc.

It helps to give your Crystal version, since newer versions have extra options, and some extra problems.

This will do the trick.
Cstr(int(year(currentdate)),0,"")+ "AYP Status"
