Colin,

On my wish list is the ability when entering times to not have to add the :. If the field could be formatted XX:XX:XX one could just enter the hrs, min, and sec without having to add the :. I think it would make inputting time a lot easier. I still this its the BEST program I have ever used. Many thanks.

Phil

Phil,

You can use several different default time separators, I use the . (period) you can also if recall correctly the / (slash) and even set your own. Enjoy.

The only potential issue with using aperiod or a slash is that if
you input any results data to excel, the it may try and convert to
numbers or dates respectively. Just something to bear in mind.

...and even set your own.<

You can...? :slight_smile:

I think that Phil meant that he'd like to see 3 fields on the form
for elapsed (e.g.) so that he can enter the hours then press tab
etc. personally I prefer the free format approach but I can also see
the attraction of what Phil is after in that it's probably a little
safer.

I actually think (though i may be wrong) that phil was suggesting always
entering 6 numbers with no delimiter in one box
ie

093545

As long as there are 6 numbers you can work out what was intended.

This should be faster and you can error on people typing anything other
than exactly 6 numbers
