HA!, Thanks, I see... Either way though, If I choose to store the date as a string somewhere, I would need to store time zone, as this is a lossy way of storing a date. Of course it may be good to store the date as time relative to Jan 1, 2001, GMT. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
