Hello, I think there is a mistake here : Do this in the msg box : set the usesystemdate to true -- (I am french) put "25/02/1912" into da convert da to dateitems put da Then press Enter The result is : 2012,2,25,2,0,0,7 Why the result is not 1912 for the item 1 of dateitems ? (It is the same mistake with english dates). Thanks for your help. Edouard
