No such error here. I use StrongEd which doesn't need the filetyping bit mentioned above. I just drop the text file into the BASIC view. > I end up playing around so much I virtually type parts into > 'UserTests' myself. Before I give up, what's the correct way to insert > stuff into 'UserTests'? As above, minus the filetyping when using StrongEd (maybe Zap as well?). By the way, I've seen these weird dates as well. A couple of days ago I decided to add some code to the main program to handle this (and a few other date/time related issues). It will be in the next release, which will also have Martin Avison's RegEx code. Regards, Frank
