Hi Michael and your welcome, nice to be the one offering advice for a change ;) Couldn't say about Euro time formats ( I'm in Oz which follows the US/English ) Looping through the date for a 4 char item should work as the short date is always formatted the same way AFAIK - could be wrong though. An alternative may be to use the date object or buddyapi baSystemTime(%Y) will always give you what you need but I don't know if it's cross platform or not.
