Re: date format

This reply is merely to 'defend the honor of ancient databases.' We've always used day/month/year (and when first begun in the 1980s, it was on an extinct Apple platform, before Access).

Usually, if I'm responding to an inquiry, I'll write-out the month to lessen confusion. I also follow the German convention of 'Zeit vor Ort,' so when something occurred appears before the location.

BTW, if you've been missing Jim's replies lately, it's because he's been swamped with work.
