If the format you need is not in that set, you are out of luck. I'm toying with providing image functions for the individual parts of a date or time. This would allow the client to combine them in any manner desired. I'm currently chewing on what to do with the am/pm part of a 12-hour hour. When I come up with something usable I'll post it here for comment. -- Jeff Carter "I waggle my private parts at your aunties." Monty Python & the Holy Grail
