 Thanks for the help in addressing my query regarding the formatting of
dates.  All the suggestions were very helpful and I seem to be on track with
solving the problem.  Don, you are exactly right in your posting -- that
is, the issue of the leading zero.  And that is where my problem is.  When I
read the CSV file into R, the leading zero is dropped.  Here is sample code
for reading the file.  Can you give me a suggestion on how to keep the
leading zero?  That seems to be my last remaining problem.

DATES <- read.csv("C:/Data/dates.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",", dec=".",
strip.white=TRUE)

Thanks in advance.
