Bernie,

What do you get if you try these:

SELECT DISTINCT CreditDate FROM Credits
SELECT CreditDate, COUNT (*) FROM Credits GROUP BY CreditDate
SELECT CreditDate FROM Credits GROUP BY CreditDate

Do you get the doubled dates any of those ways?

Also, just in case all those extra eyes might see something, please show the
results of:
LIST COLUMN CreditDate
LIST COLUMN CreditAmount
LIST TABLE Credits
SHOW DATE
SHOW ZERO
SHOW NULL

Bill
