Good Day All,

  I am having trouble dealing with different date formats.  I have a
MIDAS app talking to a Paradox dbms.  The format of the date on the dbms
server is mm/dd/yy.  The App server and the client, for the sake of
argument, are on the same machine.  The date format on the client is
ddmmmyy (15AUG02 eg.)  The client is unfortunately written to deal with
one particular format - I know, this is a very bad idea, I agree.
  I need some insight into what format I should set the fields type on
the database and the client.  This has to be dynamic in that from one
client to another, the format may change.  For example, french and
english clients, while working on the same record, may have a date
displayed differently at the same time.  What is killing me is what
should I do about editing this data.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Nick
Borland Forever ...
