This may be a rough explanantion, but when you store numbers, the length is not actually the number of digits, but the number of binary digits it would use when converted from decimal to binary.
So, a length of 1, could only have 0 or 1 as inputs. a length of 2 could only have 0,1,2,or 3 The equation to determine your limit (i think) is (2^n)-1 The length of your int is limited to 23. Your date 20001129 is bigger than this. You should really be storing your dates as datetime so you can take advantage of the date sorting functions. But then you'd need to use date() to format the string into yyyy-mm-dd format. Jim >Thanks guys... > >I guess it´s too late here now .) It fixed itself when i altered the field >type to varchar.
