Hi Terri, We've discussed "User Definable Exception Tables" for DBT a number of times, but I'm afraid right now, all we can do is "fudge it". I'm not quite sure what you mean about dates. Do you actually want to replace say 04/23/03 with 04-23-03. I'm not sure how anything other than a manual search and replace would suffice here. That said, once DBT 10.5 is put to bed, work will be continuing to develop a further enhanced version, and I know for sure that some form of user editable rule table facility is very high up the list.
