PM stands for post meridiem, which means after noon. Thus 12PM is 12 hours after noon, or midnight. > think about 12:01pm One minute after noon. Not the same thing (though 00:01PM would be better). The instant of noon is neither before nor after noon, and therefor cannot be 12AM or 12PM. The instant of midnight is both 12 hours before and 12 hours after noon, and therefor is both 12AM and 12PM. Say "noon" and "midnight", or use 24 hour notation. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
