>>>>>>>If I'm not mistaken, I believe that a VFP textbox bound to a date field had some built in smarts that would let end users edit the date value by using the up/down arrow keys (and perhaps pageup/pagedn too). The month/day/year portions of the date would be automatically highlighted/selected and simply by pressing the up/down arrow keys, the highlighted value would increase/decrease by 1.

>>>You're right. I was not born in Canada. Let me guess...you looked at my surname and figured out that I am Chinese from the west indies. The hyphen gave it away right?

>>LOL, no, I just had a vague recollection that you used to have a different flag attached to your profile, but my memory is pretty awful so I may have been mixing you up. So where are you originally from?

>Nope. I've never changed my flag (but then again my memory is pretty bad too). I believe a Trini would refer to people from the country where I was born as "mudheads". Does that give you a clue? LOL

Nope, never heard that one. Sounds like something from Harry Potter! :)

My guess would be Guyana?
