Douglas,

cuss words? I re-read my comments and nowhere did I use a cuss word. If you are referring to my usage of the term g-d that is certainly not a cuss word

and the spelling is used purposely from a Jewish perspective, however that
is another discussion for another forum of which this one is not

appropriate. If you want to know why I used it in the context I did, email

me privately and I will be more than happy to explain.

A calendar control requires now many clicks with the mouse? two? Three? and

if you have to change the month or year you can add at least one to two
additional clicks.  I can perform the same function with data entry and do

it more efficiently than with a control. As for errors, you can still have

the same issues with someone clicking the wrong day and since our system

pulls its dates and times from the system time we do not have an issue with

them.

We are going to have to agree to disagree here Trevor on the issue of GUI
versus GS, because it is readily apparent you are not going to change and
frankly I do not see a need to recode our entire system just to provide

slicker looking screens. I might add that we have looked at GUI in the past

and just cannot justify it.
