Date Formatting Problem
Actually, you *must* choose
MDY Since that is the format of the present data, otherwise you'll return an incorrect date, or no date at all. After the TTC conversion, you can then custom format to whatever date display you wish. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...
