Hi Seabass,
 
What did you do to fix the syntax error?  I can't figure it out.
 
Thanks for any help.

NumberVar YearPart;
NumberVar MonthPart;
NumberVar DayPart;
 
WhilePrintingRecords;

YearPart := tonumber({data_date_field} [1 To 4]);
MonthPart := tonumber({data_date_field} [5 To 6]);
DayPart := tonumber({data_date_field} [7 To 8]);
 
Date (YearPart,MonthPart,DayPart)

what do you want to do with the memo field?
I assume do something with one of the date strings imbedded in it but this had a lot of dates in it and they are strewn through out it.

I need the minimum date.  I know there are a lot of dates. 
 
What I'm experiencing right now is when I tell the system to only show the last 5 days, it is searching the memo field and pulling in that record even if the message wasn't created in the last 5 days.  The message could have been created 2 weeks ago but had a response in the last 5 days.
 
I've tried creating a minimum but I get the same results. 
 
Thanks so much for any guidance.Smile

this appears to be a string(memo) that is appended in descending order from newest to oldest with a standard format of:
 

> From: lname, fname mi
> To: name

> Sent: MM/dd/yyyy h:mm PM
>
typed in text

You would like to see anything that that has the most recent Sent date in the last 5 days.
Is that accurate?
If not please explain what is inaccurate and what you would chnage to make the statement accurate.

I need to see oldest date or date of creation.  When the message originated.  If the origination date doesn't fall in the 5 day window then I don't want to see it.
 
Sorry for the confusion.
