Thanks, Bonita, but this does not seem to address my question. I'm comfortable with the order day/month/year, but I would like a report option that enables me to suppress the leading zeros in day and month (so that dates look "natural", nor computer-generated). I've not yet had occasion to export TMG data to a spreadsheet or a word processing application -- I prefer to be able to do what is wanted within TMG without doing additional editing every time a report is required.

Does anybody else have any ideas/suggestions?
