Tom:

How does the data get into your tables?

I load a lot of my data from ASCII fixed field files with various date
columns.  Some of the values come in as 12/11/2008 while others come in as
12/11/08 for example.

If your date format is set to MMDDYYYY and a value comes in to a table as
MMDDYY then that value will show up as 12/11/0008.

The bottom line is if you are importing data from external files then make
sure your date format setting matches the format of the date values being
loaded.

Hope that helps.

Have a great day.

Mike Ramsour

I must be missing something then . . . my startup file (start.rmd) has
similar language in it...but the entries register incorrectly still.
