If I remember correctly there may be some cases where $TIME$ does not work correctly in the Run-If (I think a patch fixed it but I can't remember which one).
Try the following ( ((( $TIMESTAMP$ - "1/1/1970") % 86400) >= (6 * 3600)) AND ((( $TIMESTAMP$ - "1/1/1970" ) % 86400) < (18 * 3600)) ) Description of above qualification: (This gives you >= 6:00 AM and < 6:00 PM) Subtract off the start of time (for TimeStamps) to convert TIMESTAMP to an integer (if you don't do this ARS tries to work with TIMESTAMP as a string). Use the Modulus "%" (remainder after division) of number of seconds in a day (86400) to get the number of seconds since Midnight.
