Hello Ralph.

The incremental jump in values are weird but I'm not sure hot it calculates.
I have to look at it more closely.  In any case, it seems to be working.

Thanks for your help and Brian's and Don's too.

Ed.

If P1F1 is your Date field and P1F2 is your Time field, create an index  
using this 10-digit field as its primary key:

Format:
G9999999999

Formula to update on any change:
9999999999 - P1F1*86400 - P1F2

That should do it.
