All,

I am working with a horribly laid out database and need to put today()
into this format- ymmdd, a 5 character string. I understand the
downfalls of this format and am currently making a case for it to be
changed by the DBA.

I need some code or a new format to change today() into ymmdd for
example 1 jun 2009 would be 9060.

Thanks for any help.

Paul
