Well, your hindsight is indeed 20-20. And thanks for telling us, even after the fact. It does make things easier to understand.
Abt and qtr are NOT equivalent, and one should not replace the other. That's a behavior change that should be discussed with the users before implementing it...or at the very least, announced when the change is made. So, going forward, what's the "fix" going to be? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Graham Love Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 02:28 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] New Q Date Format not sorting I put the quarters in the source for the birth. When the 'Q' option came along I took the (perhaps illogical) step to replace the Abt date with the Q date as it seemed a more accurate entry. In hindsight maybe this is wrong.
