>OK Mike, how do I do this with constants? Sundays are paid at a different rate here, so the DOW() is important. e.g. a user enters "30/04/00" (30 April 2000) and I respond, "Domingo". How do I do that with constants? The way I respond now is: ? gaDiaSemana[DOW(ldDate)] I really do want to go with "the theoretiaclly right way" since every time I deviate from that I pay the price. So explain it to me in this case.

If you're using a different language version of VFP, doesn't CDOW() give the day of the week in the language you're using?
