Rick, I'm not at home, so can't look up any of this, but off the top of my head (which could be in never never land also) I'd say you haven't bothered equating pointer to anything and thus haven't filled out time_struct. Try this before your printf() call: time_struct.tm_sec = pointer->tm_sec; time_struct.tm_min = pointer->tm_min; or time_struct.tm_sec = localtime(&value)->tm_sec; time_struct.tm_min = localtime(&value)->tm_min; In otherwords, you've created a pointer to a structure, but haven't equated the values within that structure to your structure. Also, I suspect that localtime() uses a temporary structure and the 2nd set of code may be more proper. Don
