Dear List, Hi Brad, sorry to bother you again. I tried the solution you suggested, but when trying to access the document an authentication window appears (i am logged in as manager) ?!? The error message shows: --- File /usr/local/Zope-2.3.1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py, line 278, in render (Object: _.DateTime(_['GUELTIG_VON'].tuple())) File /usr/local/Zope-2.3.1-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 334, in eval (Object: _.DateTime(_['GUELTIG_VON'].tuple())) (Info: _) File <string>, line 0, in ?

Any hints? Perhaps someone coulod tell what kind of object i am dealing with, after retrieving data from a DATE column of an interbase db? the returned object is not a string, nor i am able to convert it into one.

I am accessing an interbase DATE type column via a zsql-method and want to reformat the returned date (yyyy/mm/dd), but i can't figure out how? I tried without success:
1.) <dtml-var "_.DateTime(_['gueltig_von'])"></td> Error: AttributeError
<dtml-var "_.DateTime(_['gueltig_von'].tuple())" fmt="%Y/%m/%d"
The .tuple() method of a Date or DateTime object returns a tuple.
