I had the same problem when I wanted to compare dates. After a lot of help through this forum I used dropdown boxes to ensure the dates were entered correctly, (in the UK we use dd,mm,yyy). I made each value it's own variable then merged them as follows before inserting them into a date field
$eventdatestring = "$eventyear". "$eventmonth". "$eventday"; -- Alex Francis Cameron Design 35, Drumillan Hill Greenock PA16 0XD Tel 01475 798106 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.camerondesign.co.uk This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.
