<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am using the query builder to try and get an integer from a string field.<br />
<br />
CST: CInt([RF_STDTE])<br />
<br />
Where the [RF_STDTE] is a string text of dates. I want to convert it to an integer in the query builder but not change the format of the field in the database table.<br />
<br />
It was saved to the text field in the format YYYYMMDD<br />
<br />
The MM and DD can have zero place holders so I think that is why it reports an error.<br />
<br />
How can I do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks
