Hi
Can someone please help in how I can re-format the date from ddmmyy back to
dd/mm/yy

or

If someone knows how to check whether a date entered as text is before or
after current date.

ie "110606" < date

when I try it never works as it sees the 110606 as a text field and not a
date field. If I change todays date to a text field then as far is it is
concerned todays date is greater but if it would have been earlier this week
then it would see the 110606 as greater.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
