I have an text import file with the date in the following format: yyyymmdd.
I need to move the year to the end so that it would look like mmddyyyy. I
have to leave this as a text field since I will be exporting the table to a
fixed width file. Any help would be appreciated.

Douglas,

This prompts for a date. I have over 300 that have to be converted. Is
there a way to just move the year to the end of the date?

Format(CDate(Format([TextDate], "####-##-##")), "mmddyyyy")

That was a generic answer. You need to replace [TextDate] with your actual
field name.

Using what? a query.
Where are you importing the text file to?
