Date/Time fields display as Date Only

[garyopela]

Hey, is there a quick and easy way to get a Date/Time field to display as Date only? I don't need the time. I know I can change the type of the field from Date/Time to Date but that causes the column to be dropped and rebuilt, thus losing all the data.

Just thought I'd check to see if any of you all saw how to. This is mainly to be used in a report, so on the report I would need it to show date only.

I created a new field of type = Date. Then under the Calculated Value tab, check the Calculated checkbox and use a function. Don't even need to do any special javascript retrieve date from datetime stuff.
