>>Well, when I said subtract for anything > 12, I only meant the hour (I *did* say that, you must have missed it). So it doesn't matter if it's 12:01 or 12:59, you're still not going to subtract 12 from it. But, you do have to switch the logic that anything >= 12 gets the "PM" designation.

>>Noon and midnite confuse people all the time ... which is AM and which is PM? The trick is to not think about the latin meaning and just memorize that 12pm is noon and 12am is midnite. <g>

>>Midnite throws off my simplistic logic too ... guess I missed that. In 24-hr time, midnite is *NOT* 2400, but 0000. So, you'd have to have some additional logic for converting the 00 hour to a 12. Still, not too much extra coding. <g>

>>OK, you win ... it *is* not trivial (but not that hard). <g>

>And midnight may be 24:00 or 00:00 (I keep insisting on the civilian colon, not the military *hundred), depending :). In the parlance of European railway schedules, a train arrives at 24:00 while another departs at the same moment, at 0:00. IOW, end-of-day is 24:00, start-of-day is 0:00.

ZULU?
