John,

"I ASSUMED (silly me)"

I guess SET ASSERT ON from VFP would have helped you un-assume.

"I just assumed the people who made Fox were as smart as I." Actually, I think they did the same thing you did. They *assumed*.

Actually, isn't your mdate below "01/01/00" with CENTURY OFF?

Ok, you can slap me with a Trout next time I goof up. :-)
