>>Of course you can always go to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/software.html and download some software to synchronize your computer's clock with real time. *g*

>But what is "real time"? I mean all those electrons running around inside the computer at speeds of light and beyond are causing a wrap in the time fabric and that may be why the clock beats to its own pacer. Stick in a piece of slow hardware and the time fabric is totaly confused, should time go faster because of the slow hardware ro slower because of the fast electrons.

Jim,

Sooo... Feeling a little fiesty this evening are we...? *bg*

I remember during the VFP2.0 beta when SQL quesies returned negative time. I've often wondered if they just ran their results through a MAX(return_time,0) function. *rof'l*

Best,

DD

PS - Give the kids & momma a hug & kiss for Karol and me...
Best,
