I take back that last suggestion - fast!!
datetostr will give '100999' but not go back the other way - a separator is
required

Define the Short Date Format without a separator.
ShortDateFormat := 'ddmmyy';
then proceed with StrtoDate() for your dates into database
then back to usual
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yy';
or, if you want to be Y2K compliant
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yyyy';

Mike

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
