It is a great date tool set, with structure output formatting, real date calculation bits (like adding 3 working days to a date), etc... It's worth the trouble to learn. The 'UnixDate' function seems the most similiar. Good Luck, -------- Lee Carmichael WAM!NET Inc. System Engineer 655 Lone Oak Rd Building E 651-256-5292 Eagan, MN 55121 On Tue, 10 Jul 2001, Ronald F.
