Displaying the time in "non-military" time would not be a problem at all. But it needs to be that way in the database file in order for the script to be able to compare it to the current time. I still have a lot of trouble understanding the query subroutine and I don't think I could come up with the code to convert it during a search. Also, it would take a whole lot more work internally to convert each record during the search than it would to convert it for display.

What *exactly* are the names of your fields going to be?
