Note that the "0" pad doesn't work on all versions of Palm OS -- that format specified was added in Palm OS 3.0, IIRC. You might have more luck just using DateToAscii to format your time, then you'd respect the formats the user sets. DateTemplateToAscii also can be pretty useful. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
