Thanks for persisting with me.

I'm maybe thinking that I should try sorting on those dates in the VFP DTOS() format, so 24-Dec-04 becomes 20041224. I presume that this can be done by manipulating the string, and that the sorting code you originally suggested would work (with the datetimes changed to strings)?
