But if possible, you shouldchange the date format in your records and in your prefs to mm/dd/yyyy,because that's the default for b15.From what I remember, Grant has more-or-less finalized the date functionsfor this version and I think you're supposed to be able to do almostanything you'd want to do with them. My problem has been in getting thesyntax correct ... and I don't do enough with dates to actually preacticewith them all that much.I personally preferred a different date format but I went back to thedefault format so I wouldn't have any problems.Sincerely, Ken Grome ..... ken@iav.com
