Things worked fine with webcatalog 2.x>Hard to not think there's a bug about this ReadFormat. I wish to know at>least if I can drop this line from the preference file without any non>wanted and unknown consequences.Just to make things clear, there's no such preference as ReadFormat -- it's actually ReadDateFormat. This can get confusing, because there's also a preference called DateFormat which is something else entirely.I still think there's a bug in version 3.x that's screwing up Helene's (and my) date formatting code when the ReadDateFormat is left *IN* the WebCatalog Prefs file with version 3.x. There's nothing documented that would have changed this behavior between versions, yet according to Helene the date formatting code that works fine in 2.x does not work properly in 3.x.I'm hoping that someone at PCS will post a message soon in response to this issue, even if it's nothing more than saying they have been able to reproduce the problem themselves and have put it on their list of 'things to fix' ... :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
