Oh really? I had never thought to look. I have now done so - what a lot of code! (230 lines of code to do what I did in 15 - of course theirs probably works). Since I was having a problem with the handling of DAY(3) I've gone ahead and plaguerized the cnvrt_dt function for dbdiff2. I'm not terribly excited about how they handled some of the things therein, but then I haven't looked TOO closely yet either. Well see.... cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _____________________________________________________________________________ "A thing is bigger for being shared" - Gaelic _____________________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _____________________________________________________________________________
