Hi Lewis-- You didn't mention the platform, but I've found that, in general, Buddy has problems with a lot of functions when you call them 255 times. It's been fixed in some functions (baFileExists on Windows, for example), but lingers in others.
You might try using the Lingo time & date functions Cordially, Kerry Thompson On Mon, 29 Jul 2002 17:37:22 +0100 Lewis Fleming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have used buddy api xtra to read the computers time and return it in the same format regardless of the format set by the operating system.
