Change the date format in a report

HI,
1. I have a date displayed in a report 1040801 and would like it to display
8/1/04. How and where do I do this? I have tried the expression builder,
but it does not like what I am entering.
2. What is the expression to do this?
Thanks for your helpYou can format this in multiple ways. The following is a couple of
suggestions: 1) In the format property of the textbox you can enter the
format string like MM/dd/yy, or 2) using the expression builder you can do
something like this =Fields!YourDate.Value.ToShortDateString()
