John,
The field is a Date/Time data type.

Duane and Robin-
Or the field he's using isn't really a date/time data type. The local format doesn't matter if you pass a true date/time to the Month function. If it's text or something else, then that's the problem.

Robin,
The reason why December and January are significant is because
?Month(11/01/12) = 12
?Month(31/01/04) = 1
?Month(28/02/01) = 1
whereas:
?Month(#28/02/01#) = 2
There first three calculations (in the debug window) divide the first number by the second by the third rather than assuming these are dates. Using this type of calculation suggests there will be no values that return a month between February and November. You apparently are located in a location where dates are not m/d/y.

- To get to the debug window press Ctrl+G. Then paste:

Yes, I get a 9
- It seems like you might be passing the day of the month into your grouping rather than an actual date.
- Can you share your some sample values of your birthdates? I assume 1/01/1 900 is for a January 1st birthday.
1/03/1936, 24/12/1924 5/03/1923, 6/12/1927, 29/12/1928, 16/08/1935, 17/02/1932, 31/01/1930, 14/08/1936, 9/08/1933, 26/04/1939, 28/11/1931, 6/03/1927, 26/01/1938, 30/11/1929, 7/05/1942 , 11/09/1939, 11/02/1943, 26/01/1931, 17/08/1930, 22/01/1930, 5/08/1943
Yes we are residents in a retirement vilage!
- Try add the month and day into your report's record source by adding a columns
- Mth: Month([Birthdate])
- DayNum: Day([Birthdate])
- You should see the actual months and days based on the birthdate column. In your report you could group by Mth and sort by DayNum.
I had already done that as I needed September dates as a matter of urgency.

Robin

- Just December and January definitely helps with troubleshooting.
- I don't believe you answer the question/email about if you have another function named Month(). He also asked you to open the debug window (press Ctrl+G) and enter
- ? Month(Date)
- I do not have a function named Month(). Where do I start from for the debug window?
- I believe someone asked if the date field is actually a date. Since you have only December and January, I expect you aren't storing an actual date value like Mar-21-1980 or Aug-2-2001.
- The date field is actually a date. The date is stored as 1/01/1900.
- I hope that helps
- Regards,
- Robin
- If you don't want to store the actual year of birth, at lea st store them all as the year 1900 or similar since the birthday report discards the year.

- Duane,
- I am still perplexed. The grouping shows January Birthdays first with a December header and all remaining in a group with a January header.Most odd.

- OK, that makes more sense! If the day sort is below the group on month, then the records should be sorted correctly.

- The month provides numeral 1 for the first group and numeral 19 for the second group. There are no other groups.
- The day gives the day date for each entry.
- I hope that means something to you!

- Thanks Duane,
- I have now done that and the first group shows January as the first month and lists birthdays in ascending order.
- The next group header is May with all the remaining birthdays in random order. There is not another month group header
- What have I missed?

- Robin,
- Display the report sorting and group. Then select to group by the expression:
- Month([birthdate])&nbs
- p;
- Then add another sorting expression of:
- Day([birthdate])
- You can format the [birthdate] text boxes in your report sections to display whatever you want.
