Expression nesting

How to achive, that expressions inside fields in dataset are translated.

example:
1) we create and fill table
create table Table1(Field1 varchar(255))
insert into Table1(Field1) values('text, text, [DATE], text...')

2) On Report we add Dataset (select * from Table1) and memo1 field (on masterData band) and write inside
[Dataset."Feld1"]

The result is
'text, text, [DATE], text...'
but I would like it to be
'text, text, 2008.11.11, text...'

Is that possible

    a text object can contain text, expressions, variables or a combination but you are only allowed one set of [ ] around each expression so you must go back and enter the data correctly in the table field.
    since you are not receiving an error i expect you may have included string ' delimiters in the var char field and therefore the expression [Dataset."Field1"] is returning the actual string characters that Field1 contains.

    instead of [Date] you probably need (<Date>)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
