Default If Statements with Dates

Bob,
Good point (and carelessness on my part in my response). I MUST(!)
use the DATE function in future (write out 100 times).

Probably because Toppers uses UK style dates, you use US. Which is why you
should never use ambiguous date strings like that, see my earlier response
on how to overcome it.
