That was my point, that the sign should not take up one of the digits in numberformat 00. And thank you for your explanation about strings being strings until math was done on them. In my timeCalc() function however, I already convery everything to seconds and just before conatenating HH, MM and SS, I add 0 to each one.
set the numberformat to "00" return tTotalHours +0 & ":" & tTotalMinutes +0 & ":" & tTotalSeconds +0 If tTotalHours is negative I get -H if it is less than 10. Like I said it's not a big deal. I can always work around it. Bob S > On Apr 5, 2017, at 10:21 , Mark Waddingham via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > It looks odd, but is explainable.
