   Well, when you see 24/09/08, you figure it out real fast.  Now when you see 12/11/08, to those of us in America, that's December 11, 2008, while transplanted Brits still see it as November 12, 2008.  Bob's your uncle!  ;~)

	what a strange way for a date format ;-) Looks like in the short term BigViv will need to use the "correct" date format

	Bigvic and I had been working on his Scheduler problem. Turns out that because Bigvic is in Australia, he had his computer date format as DD/MM/YY instead of the US standard of MM/DD/YY. It caused his Scheduler to put seemingly random entries on the calendar (or no entries). I don't know how Scheduler stores date values but there seems to be a conflict.
