Thanks Jeff. Have you any plans to address this in a future release (and if so, which way will you go?) Your suggested method would output the string as 2003-07-08 .... But I quite like having the 3 letter month name in there. Living in the UK, theres always confustion as to whether the day was before the month or not. I know that when the year comes first, the month comes second but having the month spelled out just removes any chance of this. For now, I'll implement my own time_from_string method that handles the month as 3 characters. Cheers Russell
