Drew,

I'm glad you knew what I meant when I said 'clock'. I didn't mean to upset
William by saying clock when I actually meant the capability to retrieve a time
value.

Sorry, but I have had several request for one.  It's not going to be a
'clock' per se, but rather a 'Time' data entry ability.  (Since you are
using a calendar to enter a date, why force the user to manually enter a
time?)

It will all be optional though, and shouldn't use resources that aren't
requested.

I have put you on my list of beta testers.  Hopefully I'll have the basic
structure done soon so everyone can hammer on that for a bit...

Drew

...do NOT include a clock!!! ...its a calendar for crying out loud!!!! 
...one that hopefully remains without the deadly "featuritis" bloat that the

MS one suffers from!!!! :))))

William ...looking forward to retrofitting my apps with the improved version

...put me on your beta list :)
