Hi, I am trying to save some fields in a table, one field with type Date. It only accepts date with the following format (01-Jan-05). I am reading the date as a string (24/09/2005) and then convert it to date. but i do not know to convert it to the following format (24-Sep-05) to store it in the table?? Please I need help urgently. This is my code : <% String issuedate = request.getParameter("issuedate"); DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); myIssueDate = format.parse(issuedate); mindecree.setIssueDate(new java.sql.Date(myIssueDate.getTime())); %>    More>>
