Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Kevin, I was on vacation for a coupla days visiting family.

I think you're just not using the correct overload of the DateTime.Parse() method. Check out the docs ... there's an overload that takes 3 parameters and I *think* that may be the one you need (the 3rd parameter is the DateTimeStyles enumerator) ... I haven't done this, so I'm not 100% sure that it will solve your problem, so check it out and lemme know.
