Interesting. I hadn't thought about using text. It would add to the storage a bit as each record is otherwise quite short. But this sounds like a good option and may help - at least while debugging - to see the raw date and time as digits. I will consider using this, perhaps as yyyymmddhhmmssttt. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
