If it's a one-off, and elegance is not an issue, - also assuming the dates
are all in the same known format, how about just creating a new string by
using "copy()" 3 times - as in
Format(%s/%s/%s, [Copy(s, 1, 2), Copy(s, 3, 2), Copy(s, 5, 2)])

Hi all
I have a couple of thousand dates in string format ie '100999' in a
database field.
To convert to Date format I need to insert a charater as a date separator as
defined by the date separator global variable.
How do I get the "/" into the string so I can do a StrtoDate().
any help appreciated
