Using macros are great, but I need to modify how the dates are being entered for one of the programs. Is there a way to modify the dates? For instance, I need YYYYMMDD format, not MM/DD/YYYY.

Thanks.

hello

You can use %ExTime()% macros. Try use it with follwing parameters
'#Y#m#d'.

i.e. %ExTime(#Y#m#d)%

It worked!

Thank you. Where can I learn more about macro syntax for the program?

#с = 02/25/06 07:56:26
#x = 02/25/06
#A, #B #d, #Y = Saturday, February 25, 2006
Today is #A, day #d of #B in the year #Y. = Today is Saturday, day 25 of February in the year 2006.
