Re: Time how long you work
You could use a Stopwatch.
Have one button that starts it and another that stops it. Then have a third button that you can press when you're done for the day which saves the day's data to a database and resets the Stopwatch to be used for the next day.

Was hoping for a more advanced solution.....
Re: Time how long you work
I track my time on my Outlook Calendar. I create appointment items for each block of time and note the project Im working on or tasks being done etc. Then at the end of the month I run an advanced search specifying the date start / end.

Why don't you just build your own?
Is this just for you, or are you looking for something for a whole group of people?
Re: Time how long you work
Why re-invent the wheel if you dont have to (especially if time is an issue :D)

Control....if it is your app it works they way you want it to not the way some other programmer decided to make it work.

How would you need something more advanced? You're looking for stopwatch functionality, so why use something other than a stopwatch?
Granted, the interface and storage and reporting parts of the application can be beefed up around what the stopwatch does, but basically your OP asked for an app that uses a stopwatch.

Because I am lazy :D
and I was hoping someone would already have a great solution in place that was a superset of what I wanted.
Re: Time how long you work
Well if you are looking for a "stopwatch" feature, you can very easily use Outlooks Journal. It can be set to track time running a program so no start/stopping by clicking anything is needed. It just tracks start/stop time of the program to determine how long you were working in that program. Now its up to you to make/keep it accurate by not leaving your app open for all day while you watch tv :D
