Re: [Dataperf] Using date to Reverse Index.

[Brian Hancock]

Hi Edwin,   Remember that if you multiply it by -1 then you need to ensure the target field allows negative values eg G-ZZZZ9   If it is a date, then you will be able to do mathmatical computations, there is just something else wrong...   Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: E.

Hi Don.   I tried it but it doesn’t compute.  Only other thing I can think of is a negative numeric field using the auto-increment but I’m trying to avoid auto-increments.  Any other idea?   Thanks.   Ed.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Friedman Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:45 PM To: DataPerfect Users Discussion Group Subject: Re: [Dataperf] Using date to Reverse Index.   Eric - if I remember correctly a date is simply a numeric value. Multiply it by a negative 1 and you'll have what you're looking for. Don Friedman Pittsburgh On 8/1/06, E.
