Yah, sorry. I actually needed to write a "Books" app for some translation data entry that needed doing at my local Uni - and Char was plain easier for search and sort than Date - and very few books have the month/day details - think about what you actually need the date_published field for: search and sort and that's about it. You do not need to do any maths with it. Use the Char. cheers L. -- Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht (Be still, stop chattering) (aka The Coffee Cantata) (BWV 211) is a secular cantatawritten by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1732 and 1734. In a satirical commentary, the cantata tells of an addiction to coffee, a pressing social problem in eighteenth century Leipzig, where this work was premiered.
