texte = Hi Matthew, Thanks for the hint on naming my variables. I actually knew that once, but never got into a good habit. I've changed my variable names based on your advice. I've also 'exposed' my code as you suggested. The [TIME] was displayed properly in the code, yet the variable is still not being written to the .db I'm still stumped here, but at least I have better coding habits.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the hint on naming my variables. I actually knew that once, but never got into a good habit. I've changed my variable names based on your advice. I've also 'exposed' my code as you suggested. The [time] was displayed properly in the code, yet the variable is still not being written to the .db I'm still stumped here, but at least I have better coding habits.
