You can "AND" a 'Date Filter' indicator with your entry code. Here's the
filter I use. Sorry that the day and month are reversed from US practice,
but that's easy to change. If you want to put this in with your System
Tester code you'll need to remove the Input() functions too. I find it works
best as a standalone indicator.
Roy
{Date Filter}
Sd:=Input("Start day" ,1,31,1);
Sm:=Input("Start month",1,12,1);
Sy:=Input("Start year" ,1980,2002,2002);
Ed:=Input("End day" ,1,31,31);
Em:=Input("End month" ,1,12,12);
Ey:=Input("End year" ,1980,2002,2002);
((DayOfMonth() >= Sd AND Month() = Sm AND
Year()=Sy) OR Year() > Sy OR (Year() = Sy AND
Month() > Sm)) AND
((DayOfMonth() <= Ed AND Month()=Em AND
Year() = Ey) OR Year() < Ey OR (Year() = Ey AND
Month() < Em));
