Hello Juan well, the idea behind me was to do something that anybody can use actually.....if I crack the DateTime module for a quick and dirty, then nobody will benefit from it, and I will have to take care of it in future releases. I was however thinking on two possible solutions: - creating a DateTime class preserving the actual interface while wrapping around mxDateTime.... - pathing the actual one. I will study mxDateTime and think about it. Somebody would like to help me, by the way?
