Right... I've read through the two threads you gave me the links to and thanks to you, it now compiles
But it's not working - lol - I suspect I've wired something up incorrectly as I'm getting output on the screen, but no the time & date - just zero's!
You've given me plenty of food for thought now, so I'll disappear back into the lab and report my findings

Once again, thanl you for taking time out to reply - it is very apreciated.
