Thanks for the quick replies. I have this working with a similar
suggestion to what arun suggests. I am just interested in why the option
to use just h:m isn't supported.
#re: Jeff
chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"),
times="h:m:s"))
chron(dates.="2009/05/01", times.="15:00", format=c(dates=c("y/m/d"),
times="h:m"))
same outcome.
Does updating to R 3.0.0 solve the problem?
Thanks for all of the help.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so
little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us
feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little
problems of being mammals.
