ROTFL! Completely blocked the fact out of my mind that this app started out using InterBase (aka "StarBase"). It didn't change to Oracle until we lost a day's worth of ERP because a Windohs PC crashed that was running a telnet session to the server and didn't disconnect from the app/DB properly. Noooo, that would *never* happen!

Ah, those good ol' days weren't that good...

That is, probably, because your application supports conversion to stardate. Beam me up, Rich.
