Hello again,
Well, forget the date aspect. I just wonder how to move (UPDATE) the text in two or three columns into one column. Say in making name middlename and surname into one column. Simply to add the latter to the former (name). Y s Bo Franzén Stockholm University ________________________________ Från: [email protected] <[email protected]> för A.

Try ADDDAY and ADDMON functions to accomplish your goal. It seems that you maybe asking for (RDATE(mon,day,yr)) function. Hope it helps!
