auto-save = cool! I grow tired of rewriting rules cause I killed BWS and forgot to save.
I do have exit subs in the full code, just neglected to include them here. sorry. Ambur, I'll give the format ( , "mm/dd/yy") a go. Thanks.

Anytime you set Step= in a Rules Action you MUST use Exit Sub inside all your evaluator statements and also not have a Goto on that Rule. Autosave is in the works btw... Regards, Thom Thom C.

The only difference is that I didn't pull the date from meditech, I just set it equal to the current date. These were the dates in my file: 11/28/08 03/09/08 10/09/08 The first time through it went to step "Check Anyhow", the second it made it to "Bad Date" and the third "correct date". Maybe try formatting "mm/dd/yy" with those "/" in there. F("OrgDate") = Format(Left$(D("1"), 8), "MM/DD/YY") F("Date") = Format(Now, "MM/DD/YY") If F("Date") = F("OrgDate") Then Step = "CORRECT DATE" Exit Sub ElseIf F("Date") < F("OrgDate") Then Step = "CHECK ANYHOW" Exit Sub Else 'current date is greater than date in file Step = "BADDATE" Exit Sub End If End Sub Ambur Tiller Adena Health System Programmer Analyst Information Technology 272 Hospital Road, Chillicothe, OH 45601 Tel: (740)-779-7854 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [talkbws] Comparing Dates Morning all, I'm have a bit of an dilemma this morning. I'm comparing Dates (equal or less than) and thought I had it working last night. I have a pre-defined date in my datastation and want to check it against the viewed date from Meditech. This is my latest coding modification F("OrgDate") =Left$(D("6"),8) '03/22/08 F("Date") =Trim$(View(Row:=Row, Col:=22, Length:=8) ) '10/24/06 If F("Date")= F("OrgDate") then Step = "Correct Date" End if ' no problems here, works just fine If F("Date")< F("OrgDate") then Step = "Check Anyhow" End ' I thought this was working, but it turns out it is only checking DD for the condition. If I change the code to this; F("OrgDate") =Format(Left$(D("6"),8),"MMDDYY") '032208 F("Date") =Format(Trim$(View(Row:=Row, Col:=22, Length:=8) ),"MMDDYY") '102406 If F("Date")= F("OrgDate") then Step = "Correct Date" End if If F("Date")< F("OrgDate") then Step = "Check Anyhow" End I don't think the MMDDYY actually converts the data to a date, if it did, the less than statement would be true, but it remains false. Any thoughts for a solution? p.s. each of these are in different steps, I don't have them all crammed into one rule. :) p.p.s Thom, any chance one of the next BWS releases will have an "auto-save" function?
