Hi, I have a database of baseball games that have the date formated like this 4/8/2008 and through programming i’ve realized that this format isn’t very useful because of the slashes, is there and easy way to reformat them to a more programing friendly format? or do i need to go through and create a script to go through and change it. thanks
