No, I do skim almost all of them.  And the stuff I find interesting, I read
all the way through.  Intelligent postings are always a plus...no matter who
writes them! <evilgrin>

If it makes you feel any better JC, I don't read the posts you take hours
writing....

<evilgrin>

Just kidding.  I do read most of them.  Too busy to read everything
lately...

Stuart, that is a silly thing to say, and exactly the reason that I can't
help but wonder whether anyone at all reads the posts I spend hours writing
and writing example code for.

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.

:-)

Access does that just fine by itself if you set the format property
to "d mmm yyyyy"  or whatever you want in the particular situation.
