Hi,

Also, despite spending hours searching, I can't seem to find a way to 
display the time, from a smalldatetime field, as:

HH:MM AM/PM

I've tried:
vbShortTime
vbLongTime

...there doesn't appear to be a happy medium, yet it appears to me to be the 
most obvious format!  Gotta love "code".  :o)

Any ideas how I display the time in my (everybody's!) preferred format?  I 
can't find a function or anything out there, just a lot of scratching of 
heads.

Really appreciate any help offered.  Thanks.
Nath.
