As a further bonus, you do NOT have to worry about leap year in 2000. Think of all of the code you (or I) have written which carefully states: If year MOD 4 = 0 then leapyear = TRUE if year mod 100 = 0 then leapyear = FALSE if year mod 400 = 0 then leapyear = TRUE What a joke! Think of all of that code which will never make it to the year 2100 into which we've added these statements. year mod 4 is plenty. Of course you don't have to worry about that sort of stuff either if you've used the informix capabilities properly. cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _____________________________________________________________________________ Lysdexics Untie! _____________________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _____________________________________________________________________________
