Wow in dbase III we used dates because they did a much better job then
parcing out YYYYMMDD.

I am guessing that this was first cut in VB3 but not sure what it's
first data container was.

Yesterday I was informed that tech terms used by one of our interface
gurus were incorrect.  Tables that end in "_" are not METADATA that is
used to generate the gui presented to the user.  No it contains the
raw data that the form collects.

So the concept of NORMAL data in this app?  hahahahahahaha!

I am sure there is another good and long story as to why, but I do not
want to hear it.

Later tody I'll get the TSQL to pull it out.
