yeah that works.. but if you call the time function and your system settings are on 12 hour.. why would it return military time???

I don't think so, but it would make an interesting test.

Anyway, I was just using the Time Function in my example. If you used that routine for real, then you would probably have the time stored in a variable, which could be more easily manipulated.
