You mean compare with things that are in your data source like
7th February2008
1st March2008
etc?
As long as you can use date and numeric field switches that generate
precisely the date format you need to compare with, you should be able to
use a simlar technique, e.g.
{ SKIPIF "{ MERGEFIELD mydatetext }" "{ DATE \@"D" \*Ordinal }{ DATE \@"
MMMMYYYY" }" }
Haven't tried it myself though, and at best you will only be able to do
exact comparisons (equal or not equal), not determine whether one date is
before the other.

Many thanks indeed. This works fine. However, to go one step further: Is
it
possible to compare the current date with a DateField that is formatted
(typed) dd+ordinals MMMMyyyyy?
