Okay, if "Try to avoid CTOD and CTOT. They are not Y2K compliant. In fact, depending on the setting of SET STRICTDATE, the compiler may complain." is true, what should be done, when you are trying to convert character date stings (or datetime strings) from tables into other tables, and the format of the string depends on the Regional settings of the computer [i.e. English(American) MM-DD-YYYY versus French (Standard) DD-MM-YYYY]

TIA
