For most database applications there is no practical reason to be using
a time of 24:00:00(at least none I can think of) and Delphi does not
allow a timestamp to contain 24 in the hours position.
I have reported it to my database component vendor, maybe they will
address it, maybe not.

Doing a little research I found that some DBs support it (DB2 for
example) and others do not.

Since I am targeting mostly windows users with my product, I guess for
now I will just allow it to be flagged as invalid.

Later,
