Display Date in expression box time zone Error

[Steve Mathieu]

We try to display date in an expression box but the date
that was display in not in the right time zone.

If we use a date picker the date is ok, but not in the
expression box. What can we to to avoidthis proble of
displaying date using an expressio nbox?

Thanks.

Have you tried using a textbox control and then making it read-only?

[Java]

1) Double click on your Expression box ( design mode ) an Format as
DATE then click Format and choose any of the formats that starts wit
*. That should pick the time zone from the client PC.

If you decide to use a Text Box instead then:
2 ) On the Text Box properties, select Data Type and choose DATE as th
type of data, then press the Format button and choose any format tha
start with * ( asterisk ) on the sample list.

Items that have an (*) asterisk are tied to the date settings used b
the operating system.

If that doesn't work try backwards, use the time formats that don'
start with (*) on the sample list.

hope this helps.

PS: if you don't have SP1 get it! I think it is still on beta a
available on MS Site.

Cheers.
Javier.
