I am having a problem making a String Date field to a true Date field so I can compare with other dates.

I'm using Crystal 7.

I've tried DSToDate and the new field appears to be a date field but there is no data in it.

Please help....

Not sure what functions are avaialable in CR 7 as its over 10 years old!!

But this should work, create formula

@Date

Date(tonumber(left(DateString,4)), tonumber(mid(DateString,5,2)), tonumber(right(DateString,2)))
