Steve:
After you define a new field in DBMgr you can click "APPLY" to save your changes. If you don't, you'll be asked if you want to save your changes when either you exit DbMgr or switch to editing a different file descriptor.
Yes, it is possible to get a list of records that are 60 days old, depending on how your file is laid out. I did it by defining the numeric date in DbMgr as a calculation: DateNum=Date2Num(StrDate,2) Then in ViewMgr I SELECTED records where DateNum was LE the value of the date, specified as a constant. What you can't do is define an expression where one of the operands is itself an expression. This may be a problem depending on how the date is represented in the file.
