strange way to compare dates

[Jean-Paul]

Hi
don't understand following situation

date = 16/01/09 (we use format dd/mm/yyyy)
form!bedrijven!datumveld= 13/01/09

when I write:
? date > form!bedrijven!datumveld I get a false
or
? date < form!bedrijven!datumveld I get a true

I don't know how 16/01/09 can be < then 13/01/09

Or am I so dumb?

What do you get if you use

?Date() > CDate(form!bedrijven!datumveld)

problem solved.... strange... can you explain what I did wrong?

Thanks
