Dates in reports

Post by lancashiredave » 24 Aug 2012 12:08

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a way to get dates to report as 14th, 1st etc rather than just 14, 1.
As this would look much better in a report /book.

I have looked and looked but cant find any refernce to this issue.

Many thanks
David

David, I am afraid that is not possible within FH.

This is despite the examples on the Advanced Features of Template Codes erroneously showing John Smith was born on 19th January, 1903.

The only option I can think of would be to post-process the Reports saved in Word-Processor (RTF) format.
Using a word-processor such as MS Word it should be possible to perform global macro edits to add the st, nd, rd, and th superscripts to dates.
