Have you looked at the DateSerial function?

Hi Rural Guy

i think i have it now

this formatting is working in a text box

="1/1/" & Year(Date())

many thanks

I don't think that will create a DateTime value where the DateSerial function with similar parameters will.

Hi RuralGuy

your right after playing around with it i used this

=DateSerial(Year(Date()),1,1)

this is what i was after

many thanks for the input
