| I currently have a report that uses a dataset to create a list of dates for paramater drop down list. Currently the format of the date is dd/mm/yyyy. However I would like the format to be mon-yy e.g. aug-2009. How can I do this. Do I need to alter the format within the dataset query?RegardsSauce1979 |

That would be the fastest way if I should do that.

| If I alter the date parameter in the dataset. How can I sort the dates so that they are in descending order as they are dates will be varchars? |

As an example for your query:select convert(varchar(20),datecolumn,112) as DateColfrom your tableorder by datecolumn
