Thanks Bricklen,
It's been a while since I did much testing on 8i (and even then, that would have been on 8.1.5 which is unaffected by what is definitely a bug -which was, incidentally, fixed in 9.0.1).
The seconds counter doesn't reset to 0 after 59, so the seconds count is cumulative, so my run time was actually 101.96 seconds, or 1 minute 41.96 seconds. At least, I think that's how I should interpret it!
Regards
HJR
