Fun. I did one in C# and I had the hands using chimney sweeps because I had a Mary Poppins theme.

agree. very nice, Graham.
I'll be interested in those results too!
btw, I just finished making a clock with hands that move in Access. So happy! Angles work, translating coordinates works. Now to wrap it up with a pretty bow :)
have an awesome day,
crystal

> The Replace() function will only replace a specified substring within the input string. It does not handle wildcards. As there is no way or predicting the order or arrangement of the "unwanted" characters in the string, you would need to call Replace() once for each potential character. There are only 62 "wanted" characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z) , so with 256 characters in the ANSI set you would need to call Replace() 194 times. If we're talking Unicode, then we're potentially into 10s of thousands!
