You could try importing those fields in a text field in a temporary table and then convert them from there into your final tables using the to_date() function. If 20022007 really means 20 Jan instead of 20 Feb, try something like: insert into my_table (my_date_field) select to_date(my_date_text_field, 'DDMMYYYY') - interval '1 month' from my_temp_table; Regards, -- Alban Hertroys [EMAIL PROTECTED] magproductions b.v.
