The issue is, when do you convert it, either when you want to display them on browser, or when user INSERT/UPDATE. I think it's better to convert it only when displaying to the browser. so in the DB, the data is still stored as it is, because you might want to display the data somewhere else other than browser, for example email or printing. -- Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All work and no pay makes a housewife.
