how to exclude time portion of datefield in a textbox?

Hello,
The datasourece in my report contains a date field, and the time portion of
this date field is showing up. Is there a format function that I can use in
the textbox or do I need to remove the time portion at the datasource level?
If there is some kind of formatting I can do in the textbox - what does that
look like? What is the syntax?
Thanks,
RichIn the textbox properties, format tab, format code, use 'd'. The format
codes are from .Net you can also use the format function if you need to
concatenate. The elipsi button shows more options.

little and added this which also does the trick (just not at the report level
is the thing):
convert(char(8), s.CurExpireDate, 1) CurExpireDate
which returns say - 10/18/06 format
where CurExpireDate was the datefield in my datasource.
May I ask what the syntax looks like using 'd' in the report textbox?
= ...Fields!CurExpireDate.Value

=Fields!CurExpireDate.Value
the textbox is applying the formatting to the contents of the textbox.
If you wanted to concatenate strings then the expression would look
something like this:
= "Generated on " & Format(Globals!ExecutionTime, "d")

How to edit textbox or a cell of table?

Hi everybody!
I've created a report in reporting services and in it i need to have a
dynamic textbox.
Let me describe more.I have two reports ,in first report i have
manegers' names .After that users see first report and manegers'
informations for example their names and saleries , they want to
select manegers on base for example their saleries ,i mean the user
must see informations then decide and select manegers who their
employees will be shown in second report ,in this case i need a
textbox that the user can write Yes or No in it,or checkbox for
multiple select .
After that users select their manegers they can see manegers'
employees in second report.
I need a textbox that has two values (Yes and No) and these values
must be shown in textbox in preview mode to select by users or user
can select Yes or No or checkbox.
Can anybody help me?
ShimaSwhy not just create one report that groups on the managers names and when
the name is clicked the details are shown. This functionality is built in
and easy to do.
another option is to add link on the managers name and when clicked open the
second report by passing the manager's name as a parameter. you won't be
able to do multiple choices though.
