The proper syntax is to leave out the class:: reference (but also make sure the code is not in the form, or you may confuse yourself and/or dBASE): "form.text = tsTime2cTime( form.ENTRYFIELD1.value )" Also note, that for some time now the keyword "additive" has not been necessary, that's the default when using the SET PROCEDURE statement.
