Hello

   Thank you all for your help and I have to say that I am sorry also, I
missed the other replies where you came right out and told me how to do it,
for some reason I only saw the one that mapped the DateTime to the Time
object, you all provided very good answers to my question and I really
appreciate it.

Patrick
