Sarah, Any chance I could see your script? I can't seem to get the convert command to work on variables. I have a tab delimited log file in a field with a date stamp followed by a time stamp (24 hour time) and if I concatenate the two items and then convert it simply doesn't do anything. This also fails when trying it in the message box. If I put the actual text it works. If I specify convert to the field it changes the entry in the field (which I don't want to do). If I put the items in a variable it does nothing.
The data looks like this: Directory Dir1-Finger dir1.jpl.nasa.gov generic UP 5/11/2002 0:0:11 631 631 Directory Dir1-Finger dir1.jpl.nasa.gov generic UP 5/11/2002 0:10:12 602 603 Directory Dir1-Finger dir1.jpl.nasa.gov generic UP 5/11/2002 0:20:12 610 610 Bill On Tuesday, May 14, 2002, at 05:09 PM, Sarah wrote: > I had a similar need for charting with a time scale, but Ken's chart > object requires all data to be numeric.
