Thanks Edgar, I'll give that a go - it's strange as Interbase claims to support CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in accordance with the SQL standard. After some research it appears that the date it keeps stamping (17 November 1858) is considered Year 0 by Borland. It's something like Year 0 of the Julian calender adjusted by +2400000.5 to match the Gregorian system... or something :-) -- Richard Abrams Lead Web Developer www.artejano.com _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
