Time Calculations

[Dan Shafer]

Gregory....

Not sure your conclusion is justified by the facts. :-)

With twelvehourtime set to true or false, the same result is obtained.
It appears that Revolution believes that 3:45 P.M., however it is
expressed, is in fact earlier than 4:10 A.M. With the twelveHourTime
set to false, this line:

put "15:45" <= "04:10"

in the Message box produces a result of "false" as well.

The logic isn't clear to me, but the behavior is at least consistent.
