11.5.4 Changing your default field formats
Crystal Reports allows you to display database fields in almost any format on your report. This section
describes how to use the Options command to control the default format settings that Crystal Reports
uses when you add a field to any report. In the Options dialog box, you can set the default formats for
database fields of the following type: String, Number, Currency, Date, Time, Date and Time, and Boolean.
Note:
When you change default field formats, your new settings affect only the objects that you subsequently
add to a report. To format fields that you've already added to a report, you must right-click the field in
the report and select Format Field from the shortcut menu.
