Ah, I see what's going on there... great, thank you. Sorry... there's more... I've been playing with dates and noticed that if a date prior to 2 December 1847 is entered in a field (say birth-date) then it's displayed as the previous day... so 18471202 is fine but 18471201 shows as 30th November 1847 (using <Sview with appropriate formatting). Is there something in the TW handles dates?
As ever, thanks for all your assistance and enhancements.
