Re Any ideas on this one ?

Still have some problems with the last thing on my first report ! Not able
to get the timedate field to show without the time.

This doesn't seem to work, if I set it to string and do the convert it
still
shows the time.
I'm trying to do it the other way around but get syntax error, what could
be
wrong here:
CREATE FUNCTION udf_MyDate (@.indate datetime, @.separator char(1))
RETURNS Nchar(20)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN
CONVERT(Nvarchar(20), datepart(mm,@.indate))
+ @.separator
+ CONVERT(Nvarchar(20), datepart(dd, @.indate))
+ @.separator
+ CONVERT(Nvarchar(20), datepart(yy, @.indate))
END
GO
SELECT DISTINCT PERIODESTART, DAY(PERIODESTART) AS Expr1,
[dbo].[udf_MyDate]
(periodestart,'/') AS pstart
FROM DEBSTAT
WHERE (DAY(PERIODESTART) <> '31')
ORDER BY PERIODESTART
DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_MyDate]

(assuming I correctly understand what you are looking for. It sounds like
you are concerned about displaying it versus sending a parameter to a query
without a time.

but it doesn't seem to work out as planned.
It shows up like this 05/08/05 00:00:00 and I don't need the time only the
date, Chris has tried to help me out with a userdef. function but I just
can't get it right, see the statement below.

datetime you have no choice, it will show the time. If you don't want to
show the time then you need to have it as string datatype for the report
parameter parameter.
