I tried the method that Carl suggested and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

I tried the previous suggestion as a separate string (with java.util.Date) and it worked, but like you said it is a bit difficult to work it into surrounding text. I will try your method Carl. Thanks for the responses so far!

Date pattern is set to "MM/dd/yyyy" in the text field properties. Dates are appearing like the following-- "7/3/112" instead of "7/3/2012". Let me know if any more information needed. Thanks in advance for your help! Text Field Properties Expression Class: java.lang.String Pattern: MM/dd/yyyy Text Field Expression Below . . . Code:"Agreement will commence on <b>"+ $F{EXPECTEDSTARTDATE}.getMonth()+ "/" + $F{EXPECTEDSTARTDATE}.getDay()+ "/" + $F{EXPECTEDSTARTDATE}.getYear()+ "</b> and end on <b>"+ $F{PURCHASEAGREEMENTEXPIRATION}.getMonth()+ "/" + $F{PURCHASEAGREEMENTEXPIRATION}.getDay()+ "/" + $F{PURCHASEAGREEMENTEXPIRATION}.getYear()+ "</b>."

I am a non-technical designer editing a report, very new to JasperSoft iReports. I am running into the following problems when trying to view a PDF preview (locating subreports/image, error filling print, etc). I have tried with datasource and with empty datasource. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! See below: iReport Output: (With datasource) Compiling to file... C:\Users\cguzman\AppData\Local\Temp\jstmp\file_1340382527739.jasper Compiling subreports....
