Hi Elvis,

Thanks, that's perfect!  Just one *minor* problem now -- some of the data in
these numeric fields do not a valid date make.  Besides the usual zero date
to indicate no value, there are some that are just plain wrong.  I can
handle the zero date problem with a CASE clause, but is there a way to trap
invalid dates?

Dave, thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for a date result, not a
numeric result.
