I have a number of dates (YYYYMMDDHHMM) in IMAGE X fields. What translations do I need to go through to be able to use ethe QUIZ date functions on these fields? I've tried using substrings. Do I need to create separate items that are equated to the substrings I want to use? TIA! Don Harrington Boeing Commercial Airplane Group (206) 931-4457 voice P. O.
