>Could you just use the SET DATE format for the report date fields and SET DATE AMERICAN before you run the report and reset it after, or it will affect something else?

Not sure if anything else would be impacted, unless the SET DATE AMERICAN has some effect on the user's machine. The display I am considering is cosmetic in nature, so that the dates on the report are lined up neatly. In your experience, has the approach you suggest above had any implications?

Always appreciate your advise. Thanks.
