Eric,

The file is provided by a 3rd party.  It's a comma delimited ascii file,
don't know the origin.  I suppose I could ask them to change the format,
but it's just easier to translate at my end.  I was hoping I could use a
date move and be done with it, but 4 or 5 extra lines of code took care of
it.

thanks,

Rick

Richard,

Is the file coming from a download of a Windows product (ie: Excel)?  If
so, I
believe there is a global setup to change the dates to MM/DD/YY.  This way
you
do not have to worry about the single digit month or day.  I had the exact
same problem at a customer site and did not know about the Global Date
change
until I wrote the entire extraction routine.  It was a pain.
