&nbsp; AS PierreC says, you can format it using FormatDateTime function<br />
<br />
&nbsp;DateEntered := FormatDateTime('yyyy/MM/dd<wbr />',DateTime<wbr />Picker1.Da<wbr />te)<br />

Can anyone tell me, how I can format a date that is in a DateTimePicker.<br />
<br />
What the problem is, I have a DateTimePicker on a form and the input format is, yyyy/MM/dd. &nbsp;That is fine. &nbsp;When I try and use this value it puts it in a different format, dd/MM/yyyy.<br />
<br />
I am doing the following:<br />
<br />
DateEntered := DateToStr(DateTimePicker1.<wbr />Date);<br />
<br />
How can I force the date to be in the format yyyy/MM/dd into a variable to use, like it is on the screen??? &nbsp;I tried playing around with FormatSettings but just got lost.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
Bego.
