Re: Date Help
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = Thanks for the replies on this so far but still no joy. If I just use one of the date bits then I get a correct answer, it's just when I do both that the problem happens. With this particular example I get nothing returned at all with both parts of the expression and a correct answer if I just use one of them. Any other ideas?
