Can you explain how this works? "Mydate" isn't a field in my database ... so where did the date information come from? There is no formatting switch in your fieldcode, so where did the formatting come from. I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, charformat ensures that the field font properties stay consistent with what is intended. DOes it ensure the number format remains as intended as well?

As I think you now understand, 'Mydate' references one of the SET fields. That field handles the string formatting. All the \* charformat switch does is to apply the desired character formatting.
Have you had a look at what I did with your checkbox fields?
