Good gosh fellows, What is shown on your screen can be easily customized for the card or label. I use two formats for my card templates:
Left$(TIME,4) and Left$(TIME,2)+":"+MID$(TIME,2,2) Will give HHMM and HH:MM All the above is in the help files which still work if you download a simple plug-in from Microsoft. Also, you don't have to hard print a label or card. There is a WYSIWYG output built into the label and card editor. In fact you can do a dry run to screen just to see what the actual card or label looks like. So you really don't need to waste a single card or label to experiment. As for the seconds on the screen, which is a non-issue for me and many others, I simply close in the column width of the log to make the seconds invisible.
