Thanks James - how do I do that - convert it to numeric? The field seems
to have a 4 digit year, and I saw a couple of instances where it was 2
digit as in 04. The others appeared null, but we don't think so now based
on Jim's help. Am trying to work it out, all ideas welcome, thanks.

Cathy,
Is the date field always a four digit year or null or is it sometimes =
something completely different? From the error it appeared you were =
getting it looks like it is only the four digit year (when you convert =
it into a date it will start at 12/31/1899 as day 0 and count forward I =
believe, hence your 1905 dates). What you could do is since the field =
appears to be text, convert it to a numeric value and simple subtract =
from the Datepart("yyyy", Date()) function. This would give you how =
many years old it is.
Try it and see if that doesn't give you what you want.
James

The plot thickens, Jim . . . !! You're right, the blanks aren't blanks =
and apparently the years aren't years . . . . when I plugged this into a
new
field: YRConvert1: CStr(Format([year],"yyyy")), ALL dates except null
converted to 1905. Ouch, I was hoping I could find a way to filter out
projects that were closed more than 2 years ago, my tables are really
getting huge, but don't have any control over the table that stores
whatever data they're plugging in to the 'year' field.
I don't really know where to go from here . . . . any ideas? Thank you =
so much for hanging in there with this. :)
Cathy
