Date Conversion

I have a database with a field called creation date which has the following example data...

09/12/2009 15:41:56
09/12/2009 15:42:28
09/12/2009 15:42:32
09/12/2009 15:43:00
09/12/2009 15:43:09
09/12/2009 15:43:18
08/12/2009 16:04:35
08/12/2009 16:05:33
09/12/2009 09:14:19
09/12/2009 09:17:38
09/12/2009 09:18:39
09/12/2009 09:19:34
09/12/2009 09:19:37
09/12/2009 09:19:42
09/12/2009 09:19:49
09/12/2009 09:20:05
09/12/2009 09:20:09
09/12/2009 09:20:09
09/12/2009 09:20:22
09/12/2009 09:20:27
09/12/2009 09:21:44
09/12/2009 09:26:37
09/12/2009 09:27:51
08/12/2009 13:48:51
08/12/2009 13:51:45
08/12/2009 13:15:42
08/12/2009 15:53:31
08/12/2009 15:54:09


In my script, I have the following...

Date

(creationdate,'DD/MM/YYYY') AS analysisDate





I have added a list box to my report and had hoped to see these group by date...

09/12/2009
08/12/2009


Instead I get...

09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
08/12/2009
08/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
09/12/2009
08/12/2009
08/12/2009
08/12/2009
08/12/2009
08/12/2009


I had hoped that formatting it with date would have removed the timestamp with the net result being that my list box would be grouped...

Any suggestions on how I achieve this greatly appreciated....
