John, Well I for one would hate to see that. I have learned a great deal from your examples and articles, and I know that others are learning too. Just from what I have learned so far, I will be building a class based framework, no doubt about it. I see many benefits to this type of programming design...

Of course "Access does that just fine by itself if you set the format property to "d mmm yyyyy". And now, WE (you and I) have an application where our respective clients say "I hate that format". I don't know what You do but I go into my sysvar table and change a SysVar. The next time the app opens all date fields are formatted however the client wants. What exactly DO you do? To a man with a search and replace program.... Shall I just abandon my attempts to educate this list about what frameworks can do? Seems a shame, but it sure appears I've wasted about 30 hours so far. John W.
