Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Timecard recording

[Bob Schader]

I am getting close to having timetrack be fully functional under 0.9.14RC2, but 
can
only gaurantee it will work if MySQL is your database. It was not included in 
the
RC2 release because it wasn't working at the time. I have not yet commited my
changes to CVS either, but should be within the next week.
