Marko Žmak	Saturday 26 February 2011 1:10:46 pm Andy, you should download and install the extension Theodoros mentioned (you'll probably find the instructions in the extension files), and then you will have a new datatype for your classes that can be used for birth date. -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
