- I don't know why it didn't work with just ">12/23/85". Note that
- there is no space between the ">" and the date. I defined a database,
- a criteria, and an extract range as follows:
-
- --database----+--criteria--+--extract range--+
- date name date date name
- 11/9/92 rob >11/10/92 11/12/92 fred
- 11/12/92 fred
- 11/2/92 sam
-
- When I extracted, it found it fine. If you want, I could upload my worksheet
- so that you could ftp it and take a look.
