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...
