I'm afraid my confusion is only deepening; you didn't say anything about "what [we] actually require" (why would you; the examples I gave demonstrated that the facility to input 1-, 2- and 3-digit and BC dates is currently required); you said that the examples I gave were not "best practice in any way, shape or form".

I don't recall anyone asking for "handling every date representation known to man". On the other hand, I have demonstrated a requirement to be able to input every date known to man. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
