Then you can easily compare with showif/hideif and make any calculations.To store them as numbers you can use this:[math show=f]numberdate={[date]}[/math]and to get them back as date formated use this:[format days_to_date %m/%d/%Y][numberdate][/format]Hope this helps.Sincerely, Nitai-- E-Commerce Solutions for Unix, NT and Mac Eyework - http://eyework.ch/EMail: Info@eyework.ch Tel: +41 (0)52 / 654 15 55, Fax: +41 (0)52 / 654 15 59 ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
