Trim the time from SharePoint DateTime column in SharePoint Designer

I was having the problem that SharePoint column was set to date only but when I used it in SPD workflows and sent emails and included this column in the emails, it put a timestamp of 12:00:00 on the column values. I had to use two datetime columns in my workflow to show duration of [DATE FROM] to [DATE TO]. In order to cut it, I created a calculated column and used the following formula and then I used the new column called "Duration" in my workflow.

=MONTH([Date From])&"/"&DAY([Date From])&"/"&YEAR([Date From])&" to "&MONTH([Date To])&"/"&DAY([Date To])&"/"&YEAR([Date To])

**[Date From] and [Date To] are columns of my SP list

Yahoo Messenger Error: Not enough storage to complete this operation

Basically this problem is due to some sort of browser plug in error. I was receiving this error again and again and I had to reinstall yahoo all over again and again. So what I did was, I downloaded and installed Opera browser, and selected it as my default browser :D and bingo :P the error was gone :D and now I have switched back by selecting IE as my default browser and the error does not reproduce so it s gone :D:D:D
