GregFM Posted June 26, 2001 Posted June 26, 2001 What is the difference between the calculations for dates "today" and Status(current Date)? Both return today's date but is there a setting where one is more advantageous, faster, uses less memory or CPUY time, etc... then the other? Thanks. Greg
Chuck Posted June 27, 2001 Posted June 27, 2001 The Today function is a legacy from before FileMaker included the Status functions. The drawback of the Today function was that it only recalculated itself during database startup, so workarounds had to be found to get this to happen every day. Status( CurrentDate ) doesn't have this limitation. I know of no reason to use the Today function anymore, I can't say that I have in quite a few years. Chuck
