Date Conversion Problem - Another Kick at the Cat

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Gregory,

I gues my reply didn't come through then:

Hi Gregory,

My guess is that the convert command needs a little
help here, as it could be either an English date or a
system date. If you're sure the data is going to be in
system date format, then modify your script to:
	convert the fourth item of aData[theDate] from system
date to abbrev English date

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
