Hi Richard & compliments of the season.

I owe you a response for your courtesies of a couple of months ago. Will write soon.

Regarding Dates: Hopefully your "all-encompassing" Dates seminar will address issues of non-USA formats. I have spent masny frustrating hours dealing with Dates of dd/mm/yyyy format (my regional Windows setting) granted that Access internally operates as mm/dd/yyyy. I guess there are enough of us to merit attention in this regard. Also, commonly, there are many who operate in yyyy/mm/dd format.
I have fixed the immediate issues that I have had (using '\/' separators). I don't understand why I have had to do this nor, for me, is the interrelationship between Dates used via tables (recordsets), variables and text boxes unambiguous. In many ways internet forums sometimes confuse rather than aid. These days your  clientele is cosmopolitan so I may not be just a lone voice on this subject.

Again Best Wishes
