Thank you VERY much Jay, Chris and Gary! I tried the php code to change it and that worked Great, as Chris suggested I am about to see how it flies with changing the SQL DB directly as Gary suggested. I might even just ADD a new DB field for the new format... The mktime function looks VERY interesting, but confusing to a newbie... That will be next on my list of things to try.
