Hi Marc,
Hit a snag with TStamp.
I need the month in MMM but upper case. TStamp seems to only give me
Jan and can't give me JAN. I need to set a dropdown of months in upper
case, and WebTest is case-sensitive, so I think I'll have to resort to
Groovy for that little bit - unless you have some more tricks up your
sleeve?
regards,
John

Thanks for that Marc - I'll take simple over fun any day so will
change my test to use this!
As you probably have guessed, I'm new to Ant :)
regards,
John
