Hi, I ham having problems with the 'date' object in max due to the spaces that it places between each character, i need to be able to query date, and have that query returned as e.g 23/04/2008, I have tried string concantation etc, but with no sucess, was wondering how this could be acheived in javascript, I attempted using the *_date.getSeconds(); etc, but due to limited experience, do not know how to do this properly, any help would be much appreciated, many thanks Ed

I'd suggest the simple max way--i.e. date->sprintf %.2d/%2.d/%d 

(example below). However for the Date reference, please see the 

javascript developer resources on mozilla.org. However, there is a bug 

with the JS Date object in Max 4.6 on MacTel which gives garbage

No need of js for this, [sprintf %ld /%ld /%ld] should work.

I just discovered that and wanted to find some pattern to reproduce the
