You can figure out the specific separator in the date Create a date (as you do) , get a short date and remove all numerics What's left is the separators Not sure if a static is the best as a person could change the date separators while the program is running and this would miss that but otherwise this seems to work pretty well even when I change my date format to mm;yy;dd I have a couple small changes I made if you're interested _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
