Thanks, I'll give it a lick and see what happens! UPDATE: LOL... :whistle: Well I'm sure I tried something like that before I asked the question... However, whatever I tried before didn't work... BUT what you outline above DOES WORK... Many Thanks. One other question while I'm here: How would I convert a String parameter '2007-4-6' to a Date...?? new java.util.Date('2007-4-6') doesn't work :( Nigel.:silly: Post edited by: nipo, at: 2007/04/09 23:36 Post edited by: nipo, at: 2007/04/09 23:39
