Re: Help with Timed Events

["Jeff" <b3achcomber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Woot!! -  Thanks Ian that worked fine.

Using determinators does indeed work. 'The create new determinator'
from the 'new event' screen actually works too, unlike the create
script buton - that still does nothing.

Now for the hard bit getting it to switch on at dusk :-).

Thanks for the help - *much* appreciated.
