If we want precision and standards, I would personally find ISO 8601 4.4.3.2 less confusing than the current implementation. (You could say 'PT2M30S' or 'PT2,5M' or 'PT2.5M' to specify a 2 minute and 30 second interval.) That said, I'd be OK with a HINT that listed valid syntax. I've wasted enough time looking up the supported abbreviations to last me a while. -Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
