Hi,

I am not sure to understand the problem but I know that label_date can
be very annoying sometimes ...

What about doing the same, but without label_date?

time = timegen(120,start=julday(1,1,2003), units='M', step_size=1)
data = 20*randomu(seed,n_elements(time))-10
; Without "label_date"
x_name = STRING(INDGEN(11) + 2003, FORMAT='(I04)')
x_locs = timegen(11,start=julday(1,1,2003), units='Y', step_size=1)
cgPlot, time, data, xrange=[julday(1,1,2003),julday(1,1,2013)], $
XTICKV=x_locs, XTicks=10, XTICKNAME=x_name

Cheers,

Fab
