I have a textbox control in a grid that I would like to use for displaying this field as a date only. How do I achieve this? Changing the SELECT statement to convert the datetime field to a style of 101 doesn't help at all. Am I to use TTOD() somewhere in this?

If for display only then simply set controlsource to '(ttod(alias.fieldname))'
In VFP8 you could use CursorAdapter.CursorSchema to set the datatype as date.
