The first release of 3.0 inserted an improper value for the ReadDateFormat. The proper values should be mdy or dmy (case sensitive). The newer admin pages with 3.01 and greater insert the proper preference value. Deleting the preference altogether fixed things because it defaulted to mdy in that case.John.>>>Is there any *requirement* to leave the ReadDateFormat preference in the >>>WebCatalog Prefs file?
