How to show day of week
I have a form, one of the fields is called ShipDate. On this form, I
would like to have right beside the field a single letter (or 2 - Th for Thursday) indicating the day of the week that the ShipDate is. For example, if the ShipDate contained 3/22/10, right beside that I would like a M (for Monday). I don't have a lot of room on the form to put the whole thing (Monday) Thanks, Darrell

How to show day of week
Never mind, I found it. Sorry, I got a little lazy and forgot to search
first. I'm using =Format(ShipDate, "ddd") I think I can live with 3 characters On 3/25/10 11:59 AM, Darrell Childress wrote: I have a form, one of the fields is called ShipDate.

Just use a Format property such as ddd d/m to show Thu 3/25 You can still type 3/25 or any other recognizable date; it will redisplay it with the day name as soon as you leave the control. -- John W.
