This has got to be so simple I hate to ask. But then is it so frustrating
that I am willing to let my ignorance show.

I have a .aspx page with an Access DataSource control and a GridView
control. It returns the proper dataset and works perferctly EXCEPT for the
formatting of the Dates. The GridView displays dates as Long Dates (5/17/2008
12:00:00 AM) even though the Access Table has Short Dates (5/17/2008). The
GridView has many dates so the extraneous time stamp is very distracting.

I cannot find the formatting control that will make the GridView display
Short Dates. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The link to the HomePage doctor was exactly what I needed - concise and
explicit.
Thank you.
