I agree that if the Event date is in reference to the terms of payment, then
the ITD _would_ be the best place, but if it referred to some kind of Promotion
or Sale date, then the DTM would be better.. I _did_ mention both
possibilities <bg>

There are well over a thousand different date qualifiers, so I'm sure that they
can find more than one to fit 'Event'.

If Malik is expecting to get a new piece of data from Mervyns, then my advice
is "fuggedaboudit".

Bob Ball seems to have explained it best.
