Mike,

I cant seem to be able to reply to threads with my nntp news reader (OE 6.0)
I will have to reply to you in this new post.

The problem you answered about updating the date list works great I just
need to adapt it a bit and thats where the If statement problem comes in.

Yes you also answered this question. I have put the months in the wrong
places in the code. Being English you see!!

Thanks again to you and others who have helped me recently in the forum.

Rob
