Now that you explained what you _really_ wanted to do, rather than how you think you need to do it, I can give you some better advice. The best way to handle this is to create an include file which determines whether or not DST is in effect, since WebDNA does not include a GMT date format (even though _every_ single platform's CRTL supports that format).I'll see if I can whip something up, since I am also annoyed that I have [remember] to edit my MIMEHeaders.inc file twice a year for the same reason.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
