You can call this function. Copy and paste it into a Module. Watch out for word wrap on the longer lines. I've set it to return the date in the form of 5th of April, 2010 for today's date. You can also display the date in several other formats. Simply comment out the current line of code and un-comment one of the other lines, as wanted. Public Function DateOrdinalEnding(DateIn, MoIn As String) ' Will add an Ordinal ending to a date ' i.e. Novermber 13th, 2000 ' MoIn determines Month Format, i.e. "mmm" for "Feb" or "mmmm" for "February" If IsNull(DateIn) Then DateOrdinalEnding = "" Exit Function End If Dim dteX As String dteX = DatePart("d", DateIn) dteX = dteX & Nz(Choose(IIf((Abs(dteX) Mod 100) \ 10 = 1, 0, Abs(dteX)) Mod 10, "st", "nd", "rd"), "th") ' November 13th, 2000 ' DateOrdinalEnding = Format(DateIn, MoIn) & " " & dteX & ", " & Format(DateIn, "yyyy") ' ********************** ' Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 ' DateOrdinalEnding = Format(DateIn, "dddd, " & MoIn) & " " & dteX & ", " & Format(DateIn, "yyyy") ' ********************** ' 17th day of September 2003' 'DateOrdinalEnding = dteX & " day of " & Format(DateIn, " " & MoIn & " yyyy") '*********************** ' Friday 4th of July, 2008 ' DateOrdinalEnding = Format(DateIn, "dddd") & " " & dteX & " of " & Format(DateIn, " " & MoIn & ", yyyy") '*********************** ' Friday 4th July, 2008 ' DateOrdinalEnding = Format(DateIn, "dddd") & " " & dteX & " " & Format(DateIn, " " & MoIn & ", yyyy") ' ********************** ' 4th of July, 2008 DateOrdinalEnding = dteX & " of " & Format(DateIn, " " & MoIn & ", yyyy") End Function Call it from a query Exp: DateOrdinalEnding([DateField],"mmmm") or directly in the control source of an unbound control, on a form or in a report: = DateOrdinalEnding([DateField],"mmmm") -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup.
