But when I check all the vars show up as DateTime. I must be missing something simple but can’t figure it out? Thanks Marc SET VAR vtemp = (SSUB((UDF('@FileInfo.dll','cmshr.dat')),2)) SET VAR vcreated DATETIME = .vtemp SET VAR vcurrentdatetime DATETIME = .#now SET VAR vcmsold DATETIME = (.vcurrentdatetime - .vcreated)
