i tried EVALUATE(txt,CALCDATE('CM-6M',TODAY)

where txt is the text variable

cant convert date to text ...

iam trying to set the captionclass property of the text box as

'1,5,,' +txt

gulamdastagir

txt:=FORMAT(DATE2DMY(CALCDATE('CM-6M',TODAY),2 ));

gives me 7 for july but how to to show it as the caption for the textbox???

Did you try to set the CaptionClass-Property of your textbox to the following:
'1,5,,txt'

This should change you caption dynamically.

Take a look at this thread:

'1,5,,'+txt

mhh strange behavior...

workaround: create a new text-variable e.g. called txtCaptionClass and set this txtCaptionClass to '1,5,,'+txt. Then use this new variable in the CaptionClass-Property. It seems that the String-Concatenation is not evaluated properly in the CaptionClass-Property.
