The reason only one of my programs was affected is because I had followed your idea of implementing the setting in my startup file, but(my bad) put time format in HH:MM:SS instead of HH:MM AP. But I am curious why a datetime stamp does not recognize HH:MM:SS only HH:MM ap Tom Hart

Tom, I am glad to hear that. > Why does that affect the datetime stamp? For your education ... Every UNLOAD routine (except AS ASCII), always carries the native settings as follows: CHARACTER Settings BLANK DELIMIT LINEEND SEMI QUOTES PLUS SINGLE MANY IDQUOTES CURRENCY Settings SYMBOL PREF and SUFF Subunit Digits FORMAT Operating Conditions CASE AUTOSKIP REVERSE BELL TOLERANCE ZERO Special Character NULL DATE Settings YEAR CENTURY SEQUENCE TIME Settings SEQUENCE These settings are enforced to assure the successful LOAD of the unloaded file. So, when you are loading and implementing someone else's form, external form, label, report, or table/view structure, after a successful load, it is your responsibility to verify and reset your database settings, if necessary. Thus, the need to enforce all default settings in your startup application file, as suggested in my earlier reply.
