But this time I'm hoping someone knows how to easily format dates in the

The format runrev gives me is mm/dd/yy. I could write a complex thing that
would convert it every time but maybe there is a built in format or someone
has a nice conversion function I could use.


It's only the sort of thing you would have written for yourself, but here are my functions for SQL date conversions:

-- converts a system short date into an SQL format date
-- uses current date if none supplied
--
function SQLDate pDate
  if pDate is empty then put the short system date into pDate
  convert pDate from short system date to dateItems
  return item 1 of pDate & "-" & item 2 of pDate & "-" & item 3 of pDate
end SQLDate


-- reverse function to convert SQL date to short system date -- function SystemDate pDate if pDate is empty then return the short system date replace "-" with comma in pDate put ",0,0,0,0" after pDate convert pDate from dateItems to short system date return pDate end SystemDate
