Thanks for the tip (took a while to catch up the mail) - looks like we will just have to extend all date fields to display 4 digits for century, but keep allowing 2 digit data entry.

Oh well - we wanted to create a date base class object anyway, that includes an ActiveX calender class. This might be a good time to start!

Thanks for all you help,
