Something like keeping all dates as a secret internal format of *ISO and when other formats are used, down translate the internal date to the display date? But how would you handle incoming dates, e.g. 07/27/01 This could be my grandfather's date of birth, or my 2 year old's. Which *ISO date would you choose to promote this *MDY date to? Remember that the very next record typed in may require the _other_ century interpretation, so a fixed window doesn't cut it. --buck
