DateTime Format

I have a database field that is in DateTime format... in my report I want to
stick this date in the middle of a string and display it... as MMM d, yyyy...
nothing I try seems to work... any ideas?Hello MER78,
You can use the Visual Basic Format() function like this:
=Format(Fields!YourDate.Value, "MMM d yyyy")
and of course you should be able to concatenate as you said:
=Fields!AnyData.Value & Format(Fields!YourDate.Value, "MMM d yyyy")
Hope this helps.
