I've got a Date Field which is coming into the report as 'mm/dd/ccyy". I need to display it as 'mm/dd/yy', but when I click on properties and select the Date format, it doesn't show the format option I'm looking for. I noticed there's a Custom selection, but I'm not sure I'm typing the correct syntax.

For example, if I'm working with date value 05/28/2008 and select the custom option and I enter mm/dd/yy and it displays as 00/25/08. Where did my month (05) go????

Does anybody know what the correct syntax is?

thx,

John
