in reply to Re^2: Compare Dates
in thread Compare Dates

If the dates are in some form of numeric 'year month day hour minute second', then check all fields are 0 padded, and a gt/lt/eq compare is perfectly valid and simple to grok what's going on. Its only when you get to the insanity of YYYY DD MM formats, that things go pear shaped...
