	I am working on a report for which i need to view all future appointments. I have created a formula to give me future dates (see below) {AppointmentData.appointment_date}>currentdate however the output is False (if not future appts) and True (if there is future appts) I need to have the dates of the future appts display

	if one of them is text and one is date, you can decide which way to go, both to text or both to date. CDATE(string) is one option TOTEXT(date, format) is another. HTH

	I think the issue here is that you are placing the select formula ... {AppointmentData.appointment_date} > currentdate ... in a field explorer formula rather than the select expert. Edited by DBlank - 25 Jan 2011 at 3:42am
