That may well be true, but I feel compelled to point out that I had a
very similar requirement in the real world. (Although, I didn't solve
it with a view. As part of a barcoding/job cost tracking system, the
program mails appropriate managers when people obviously forget to
clock out of a job - or, as happened recently, the UPS screws up and
they can't clock out and no one has access to voice mail or email
and...)

So do your schoolwork folks, don't expect usenet to bail you out! It
pays off in the real world.
