You know what they say about better idiots?... I plead Guilty, your honour!

Thanks, HOughy! That's the good news!

The bad news is...

Because the big version and the normal version overwrite one another when installed, I set about trying to separate the two versions so I could name them differently...

I thought I had it right, but when I went back into VB and tried to open the project... nuh! Anyway, to cut a long story short... despite autobackups, etc it appears I have lost two critical files... I have been trying everything I can think of but can't recover them . They are the files that define the appearance of the application. I'm pretty sure I have the guts of the program... so I'll just have to bite the bullet and reprogram/redesign from scratch and cut and paste if I want to do any more development work on it.

The trouble with being a novice! You know what you want to do, just no how to do it... and sometimes there's a risk that what you try will do some damage!

I would like to re-write them both into the one application and use a button to toggle size... but it is not so simple, especially now!

So I hope you find the clock useful, and I hope you don't find too many bugs!!!
