If you can search usenet archives, (dejanews, etc) this would be worth your while. IMO, use a 4-digit year on screen always. If not, then as much as possible. Make it fit. The user will see and know what they are going to be storing. Without DBCENTURY, you would need a function call to do date manipulation at every point in your code where it would be appropriate (e.g., input's, construct's, etc.) Tim
