Date Problem

I have a date problem within Reporting Services.

During ETL (SSIS 2005) process we converted a date e.g. purchase date from a file

which was 20070703 to 03/07/2007 00:00:00, (this is a standalone date not associated with dim_time)

and once i ran the fact table in sql query (in sql management studio 2005) the date does indeed come out as above, 03/07/2007.

So, the cube was built and i began building reports in SSRS 2005 when the above date has gone back to 2007-07-03 00:00:00.

I tried fromatting it to dd MMM yyyy but it still brings it out the wrong way.

Can anyone help me force the date back or am i missing something ?

Thanks

Be more specific, how and *where* did you try to format it? It should work fine if in your textboxes etc in the report if you do a Format(CDate(<your date>), <required format>) (use it in the expression property of the textbox).
