Don,
I have never tried hiding a ::H field behind a multiline text field but thanks for the tip. I'm not short of space on this particular app but I'm sure it will be useful at some point.

Michael - I'm glad you got it. I didn't understand the discussion of why the ::H wouldn't work on a display field, it works just fine. I didn't know if you knew that you can "hide" a hidden field behind a multiline text field if you're short on screen space. I've done that before but it's been years.

    . . . . . and finally . . .  I ended up having three adjacent text
    fields working as if they were a time field as earlier - P1F1 - A2::E,
    P1F2 - A1::N,  P1F3 - A2::E.

    This time however no field formulae were used, just range checks:
    0 to 23 for P1F1 and 0 to 59 for P1F3

    The second remains a no value may be entered field containing the
    initial value ":"

    For calculation purposes I currently have a hidden Time field with the
    formula:
    convert["T99:99";P1F1 ":" P1F3]
