According to the BDE filter syntax, you need to put square brackets around
this (I think anyway).

Try this and see if it works:

[f_striptime(datum)] between '09/01/2000' and '12/08/2000'

You should also avoid using double quote chars since these denote
identifiers, not data.

If the square brackets don't work, I'm going to have to figure something
else out. I designed it to work with a plain column name, not a UDF around a
column name.

I may regret opening up this can of worms yet.... <g>
