Thank you darkpaw for taking the time to help. Your code worked flawlessly as expected. One Note If another rookie stumbles on to this looking for answers I did have an issue of my own making. The code above kept crashing on the ternary. "Cannot use instance member 'nowtime' within property initializer; property initializers run before 'self' is available" After some research yesterday I found out that structs do not initialize vars in order and only when needed. Once I moved the vars nowtime and oktime out of the struct under the import statements everything went smoothly. Thanks again darkpaw!

Sorry even though I use indented code when submitted it makes it regular text

//xcode 14 @State private var phoneNumber = " " Button { phoneNumber = "--XXXX" callout(phonenum: phoneNumber) } label { Text("Using function to call") if oktime > nowtime { .foregroundColor.green } else { .foregroundColor.red } }
