If you have a date field in a database, and you put [date] inside a [foundItems] loop, WebCatalog will display the database field value instead of today's date.No, actually all i'm trying to do is write the present day's date out to a text file. It's not inside a foundItems loop.John-- John S. Winningham WebWright Inc. john@webwrightinc.com http://www.webwrightinc.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
