Hi Garrett, It's ok -- the example was a "subtle" indication. It really comes down to whether you salt something while cooking or leave it to guests to salt to taste, doesn't it?

Try this: ConvertSeconds(the round of XXX) ConvertSeconds(trunc(XXX)) makes sure seconds is always a whole number. One rounds off, the other drops the fractional part. ConvertSeconds(round(XXX,1)) Rounds to tenths of a second (but doesn't provide fixed digits in the result; even seconds will not show the decimal point or fractional part). A millisecond is one thousandth of a second, i.e. three digits after the period. In this case, you would indeed modify the function, to ensure a fixed number of digits after the decimal. You'd pad out with zeros and then take the first N digits you wanted. You could even add a parameter to the function to dynamically specify how many digits are required. > This is something I was going to ask soon anyway.

The more updates you do, the slower your program may potentially run. > Here's the scenario....

Scott Rossi recently (within last week or two) posted a link to a music player he built which does something like this... you might want to check it out. :) Bill _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
