HI Igor, I don't know the answer to your question about dates prior to 1970 on Windows machines, but I do know that problem doesn't exist with the sqlite solution I posted. You don't even have to have an sqlite database available to you, just call revOpenDatabase with ":memory:" as the file path.

Hi William, When you say "long ID number", do you mean the name of the datagrid template stack - "Data Grid Templates" followed by a long series of numbers? I believe the datagrid library refers to that stack by its LC long ID, not it's name but LC itself doesn't like stacks with the same name to
