Hi Gregory,

Hi Gregory,
My guess is that the convert command needs a little
help here, as it could be either an English date or a
system date. If you're sure the data is going to be in
system date format, then modify your script to:
convert the fourth item of aData[theDate] from system
date to abbrev English date
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
