Start Condition Problem

[Bibby, David]

Thought I would just send an update because I solved this problem.
I'm not sure if the upgrade caused the problem or the copy of dev but I
had to debug the start condition on the workflow to see why it was
returning false instread of true. 
One of the conditions it was comparing the WBSe's creation date to see
if it was after 6.9.2004, even though 30.05.2006 was after 06.09.2004 it
was evaluating as false. 
In debug I could see that it was comparing '30.05.2006' to '
06.09.2004' there were two leading spaces before the date in the start
condition rules value. 
I think this might have been the problem.
I deleted this part of the condition and re-created it. Then it worked.
Regards
David
