I donot understand this argument Is is possible to put some alpha-characters in the dat field: between, ca ,etc, etc. The translated words can also put in this field. It is also possible to search and replace for dates containing "between" or "tussen" (the dutch translation). If the program can find those entries with "between" for a search and replace operation, it is must be possible too to search for the alpha characters alone.
