But if possible, you should change 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 functions for this version and I think you're supposed to be able to do almost anything you'd want to do with them. My problem has been in getting the syntax correct ... and I don't do enough with dates to actually preactice with them all that much.I personally preferred a different date format but I went back to the default format so I wouldn't have any problems.
