Heh, well, I suppose I could tell the client that I can't match his current
reports, or make the columns narrow enough to all fit on a single page and
see if he still wants to pay me. But, with the economy what it is, I was
toying with the idea of just giving him what he asked for.

Right. I think I'm getting the picture of my options. I already have a fair
amount of code working that relies on the a DATETIME column and was hoping
it would support a date format supported by C/C++ (like the way I read
DateTime values with MS SQL and C# in .NET).

I can work something out if these are my options though.

Thanks.
