THAT is the burning question..."

Pete, I tried it again this evening with MSIE version 6. According to the timer it took me 27 seconds using the mouse picker, and a little over 20 seconds with the keyboard.

Although I will say the mouse picker seemed fairly convenient.

I also tried it again with Netscape 7.2, and I could enter the dates from the keyboard, but the timer never started, so I couldn't get a time under Netscape.

With kindest regards,
