Try version 2.1.3, it fixes some problems which occur when malformed dates exist in your database.If that doesn't work, I would suggest changing all the dates in your db from formatted dates (such as 05/12/1998) to the number of days since 00/00/0000. That's what I had to do in order to get WebCat to repond relatively quickly to date searches ...I received an earlier response from PCS, here on the talk list, stating that when dates are stired in the database as formatted date values (such as 05/12/1998, which is the typical way to do it, of course), WebCat needs to turn each of those formatted date values into a numeric value *before* it can do the date comparison.So the larger your database, the more conversions WebCat has to make, and the longer it takes before it can return the results. That's why storing your dates as the number of days since 00/00/0000 results in far faster search times -- because no conversions are necessary when the dates are already stored as numbers ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
