Not by a long shot.

It could easily be that you need to spend a bit more time learning how
it works ...

So, what exactly do you mean by "one-legged SQL"?

Not sure why you are having problems with dates -- work fine for me.

What do you mean that they don't work? They work for me. Try using the
online help. Try asking *specific* questions here in these newsgroups.
You'd be amazed at what you can learn.

After all the insults, don't be surprised if no one is interested in
helping ...

Have you ever heard the phrase "You catch more flies with honey?" It
means that if you insult people they tend to go away and leave you
alone, but if you are *nice* to people (i.e., drop the insults) people
are more likely to want to help out ...
