However<g>, it would also have made sense (IMO) once we got to multi-megabyte storage, to offer an alternate/additional LongDate (or LargeDate) option. As I said, the real issue is not storing and displaying my own format, it is re-writing all the Date Math APIs. At least, the ones I need. For my current application this really boils down to What was the date xxx days before date xx/xx/xxxx. Clive.
