>I'm just being a smartass tonight. I know what you are saying. My pc(Micron) gets off by 30 minutes every month or so. You would think it would be able to keep good time.

Mines about 5 minutes, but there are some at school that loose 10 a day! I wonder if a VFP timer would be slow in that case too (enter Bela or Christof to remind us of the inner workingings of the VFP timers ;-)
