hi, i already posted this topic in another jasper report discussion but i think i can find more solution and suggestion in this forum so my probleme is: i would like to know where can i find the source code of the calendar " date" to be able to modify the format of the date. the actualy format of date is "mm-dd-yyyy", but i want to have this format "yyyy-mm-dd". so where can i find the code source to change it. in the other forums i haved this suggestions : hi zakaria2105, You need to set the appropriate pattern of the date field. You dont need to know the source code of the calander component. DNV Srikanth. Is this about JasperServer? Is so, see the Changing Date and Datetime Formats section in the JasperServer Localization Guide, and post any further queries on the JasperServer forum. Regards, Lucian thanks
