If I'm in a noisy environment, I'd ...

It got pulled in once and after that when i CHANGED the icon it still shows an ol...
I have a form with a date value in a TextBox control. The form uses data binding with a BindingSource against a DataSet and a SQL 2005 CE database. Where do I control the formatting of the date?
