Joyce Sorry you were put to this trouble. I'm always wary of transatlantic dates in this form and wonder how the difference came about in the first place ie why in England do we put day/month but in the USA, month/day?

Alan: It was no problem. I see by others that using numbers for dates can be very confusing. I myself try and use the name of the month when dealing with dates. bfn Joyce Jackari2@aol.com wrote: >Joyce > >Sorry you were put to this trouble.
