I think GWindows.Calendar should be influenced neither by databases nor by Operating Systems either. There is a date representation standard, ISO-8601, which can be read here http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/technical/software/SGML/doc/iso8601/ISO8601.html as well as other places on the web. Perhaps it could be based on this standard instead? Stephane Richard "Ada World" webmaster http://www.adaworld.com
