Thanks Steve,

I will just stick to the unformatted time using Timenum

OK, I guess my problem is that there are no arrays of strings in AB, so in
Explorer it would always use last bar of selected range?

Graham, I think he is trying to report the times of past bars - when buys
occurred...

If so, a couple of other ideas might be:

1. Use Osaka Plugin - it handles tables of strings.
2. Just use Timenum() w/o formatting.
3. Use hour() / minute() / second() in adjacent columns.
