in reply to How to find yesterdays date (was: Date)

Hello, One last tidbit. I'm not sure of your exact situation but your question hit on an 'admin' issue. One idea to ease administration would be to reverse the file schema to Year-Month-Day. That way when you sort it it will be chronological (if you use 1999,2000, and numerics for month). Just a thought 8~)

    Agreed. Also if you have any employees like me who come from outside of the US (Canada in my case) there is an excellent chance that they will be confused by dd-mm-yyyy formats. I grew up with mm-dd-yyyy and it can be very confusing. But nobody is particularly confused by yyyy-mm-dd.

      Okay, why are so many Americans writing dates as m-d-yy and mm-dd-yy?? Am I supposed to be able to figure out what 02-03-01 is supposed to mean??

      /me runs screaming down the hall, hands waving in the air, bangs into the wall at the end, and collapses in a heap.
