Thanks so much, everyone for your tips on getting this to work! I got it to
display the proper date as: August 27, 2002

Now, I'm afraid that Filemaker does indeed want the format MM/DD/YYYY
instead :(

The reason I think this, is that when I run the script now, it makes it all
the way down to where it actually enters this date into FM and then says
something about invalid data... ?

I'm assuming it might be even easier to get the date in the MM/DD/YYYY
format - or hoping anyway! Here's what I have in my date part of the
script now:

set message_date to time sent of message i of folder "Workshop Notification
List" of folder "OO Mail" of folder "Inbox"

set entry_date to ((month of message_date) as string) & " " & day of
message_date & ", " & year of message_date

(No Breaks)

How would I need to alter this to get the other format?


BTW, I'm definitely new at tinkering with AS so thanks for all your
patience!

Jacki :)
