Date formatting so "01/22/2005" becomes "January, 2005"

Any suggestions for a formula that will format a date this way? TIA!

See the Format() function in help. You'll be looking for:

Format([YourDate], "mmmm, yyyy")

Note that you'll want to store the date physically as the regular date
value and NOT as the formatted value as it will convert to being a text
string. Also, that will disable you from being able to sort properly
on the field (in reports/queries).
