Thanks for the help on this.  The dread adult versus juvenile errors...I 
forgot about those.  Karl, is there any way to change the message so it 
says 'adult female' in there instead of just "female".   I need 
something that directs my diagnostic efforts better.  I wasn't even 
thinking in the direction of adult versus juvenile...I was focused on 
the dates.

Lacey, RWA's maturedate successfully uploaded to babase_test.  Have you 
also altered the babase database as well?  I'm running everything 
through babase_test first, but I don't want to run into the same error 
when I do the real update.  This issue will leak through my sieve of a 
brain by then and I will be emailing you next week with the same question.
