I need to strip the slashes from a date field.

Try

totext({Table.date},"ddMMyyyy")


Assuming your date is day/month/year not clear from your example

This is a format issue. Right click the field and select format field. Click customize, set the day and month up to have leading zeros, and delete the separators.

No formula required.
