Hello,

What have you tried that you might learn someting from? If nothing, why not?

Waiting most of a day for a forum answer when you could run a few simple tests . . . . :?

What happens if you change the mask=? the format=? etc.

What happens when you run this as-is? If you run it and post the informatoinal output, we may be able to offer suggestons even if we don't have comparex on our system. . .

The most important part of getting usable replies is what you post for others to work with.
