Maybe not > neccesary, but I like to understand what is happening. When you put "N", each field is converted into a number before it is interpolated into the formula. So "2007-02-02" becomes 2007, and it is inserted *as a number* into the Lisp form. concat is a function that concatenates string - it cannot handle numbers, so it throws an error. - Carsten
