Hello,
I had quite a few bugs with this program and it's fore-bearer. I got all but one of them fixed and it's in one of my if-else loops. When the program runs it runs good and then when it gets to the loop it only pulls out the first part of the if-else and only shows it in the AM mode. The PM mode should be the one that is used. The if loop that is called when the time is greater than a certain time works fine. I am probably sure it's going to be a simple problem, but I can't seem to grasp it. The if-else loop that is not working is on lines 88 - 92.
