ARG! Marty Z found my bug: Replace the "6" with "hh" in the MM calc...
It is a simple matter of hacking the code to do the brute force conversion.
Here is something that may work - probably not the best, but it works:
In place of time=time('n', thensecs, 's') use:
hh = Right(thensecs%3600,2,0)
mm = Right((thensecs-(3600*hh))%60,2,0)
ss = Right(thensecs//60,2,0)
time = hh':'mm':'ss
