Mario, Thanks this is very helpful. However it is a little disappointing to learn this.
Without "special" field modules registered at startup we should have an easy to use date field mechanism, after all we would expect this to be a common requirement for tiddlers, such as due, review or expiry dates etc.. Perhaps this already exists (as I am a long way to completing this), just that it is different to the Created and Modified date handling, that is ok, I just need to understand this, and you have being very helpful. I expect to find lots of information in your suggestions and Marks S.
