Hi

My apologies if I put this in the wrong forum...

I am using nav 2015 and am creating a Word report layout using office 2013.

In the report design, I have added a field "Posting Date"
When I add this field to my Word report, I get the date and time displayed.
However, I just want the date to display.

Could someone point me to a post that explains how I can do this please.

Thank you.

    Please add FORMAT("Posting Date") in Report design and it should solve automatically in word layout.

    In your design change the source expression to FORMAT("Posting Date",0,'<Closing><Month,2>/<Day,2>/<Year>') and you can define different formats, check the link for different formats you can use
