thanks very much for the code Stef - this is pretty cool!
Although it does not match exactly what I had in mind (i was thinking of =
a=20
single box), it has certainly given me some ideas.

We have a requirement to be mainly keyboard driven - so I can't use the p=
opup=20
calendar control directly (as much as I'd like to), but I like the idea o=
f=20
using separate text boxes for the time components.  With some automatic f=
ocus=20
switching to the next box when the user has filled in the first one I thi=
nk=20
this would work fine with the date as well as the time.

Once again thanks very much - I should be able to get something going bas=
ed on=20
this.

Cheers,
Martin
