>>You can use them, with care. A better or more secure way would be to parse the date and build a date-safe command like DATE(yyyy,mm,dd) or using the strict date format: {^yyyy-mm-dd[,][hh[:mm[:ss]][a|p]]} (e.g. {^2003-01-16}). The presentation of the internal date depends on settings (see SET >DATE in the help files).

The person who started the thread will see two buttons at the bottom, one with three stars, one with a single star. Clicking on the three stars will mark the message as the solution. Clicking on the single star will mark the message as a help. There can be only one solution, but several messages can be marked as help.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
