Hi,

Try this.

Go to Script and change the format of  DDMMYYY date

eg.

Date(CloumnName,'YYYYMM') as CalDate

DDMMYYYY is a date, but YYYYMM isn't. You can't join those two fields as they are. You can create another field from the date that makes the join possible. Try: right(MyDate,4)&mid(MyDate,3,2) as MyMonth. Formatting the date as YYYYMM with date(MyDate,'YYYYMM') doesn't do the trick since it only changes the text representation, not the numeric value of the date, i.e. it stays a date.
