My welcome to JimN as well, his absence was felt here.

This reminds me of my recent experience with Office, namely Excel. I was trying to calculate some interest, actually to figure out how does the bank calculate the interest on my loan (turned out to be far simpler than what I had to do back home, when I had four banks as customers, 20%-3e8% inflation and conforming rates). At some point I had to calculate something divided by the difference between two dates. I expected the result to be a number, but it turned out to be a date. Then I tried calculating the date difference only in a separate cell, and that difference was also a date - though very close to the beginning of the universe, i.e. day one of the previous century. Then I started searching help for "calculate date difference". Just try it yourself - if you ever find the simple fact that "the dates are represented as numbers, their difference is also a number, but Excel will format any cell as date if at least one of the operands in a formula is formatted as a date, regardless of the actual result type", my congratulations. I've danced ten circles through the help, and that's what actually kept me from understanding how simple the problem was.

MSDN is just bigger.
