Getting the date format from a field

[oddball]

Have got a field which has a date format (dd mmmm yyyy). The date is auto formatted when the user types in the date e.g.:

1 jun 2003 -------> 01 June 2003

However, if I then access the value of that field i get the unformatted user input rather than the nicely formatted date shown to you on the screen.

Can i get at the formatted value shown on the screen instead,


cheers

This seemed to have the right affect:

util.printd("d mmmm yyyy", util.scand("d mmmm yyyy", wiz_3d.value))
