The whole concept of a modified date in a relational database is problematic. For example, if I change the spelling of a Master Location, has the individual who was born there been 'modified'? Some would say 'yes', some would say 'no'. In part, it probably depends on what the user intends to do with the date. They can fix this bug, but an effort would have to be made to find all the other anomalies involving this date before I would trust it ... including a clear definition of what it means. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.
