You should have a surcharge, not a discount!  It's all your fault that
US developers have to deal with internationalization issues in their
application! <VBG>

	I am amazed that that 'feature' hasn't bitten me before.
Shouldn't we non US developers get a discount? (grin)

		It's a "feature" of Access.  From  the A2K Help file:
		
		"Use International Date Formats in SQL Statements
		
		You must use English (United States) date formats in SQL
statements in Visual Basic. 
		However, you can use international date formats in the
query designgrid."
