I want only time to show up in Date/time field

[panoss]

I have a date/time field. Format=Short time.
I want only time (hours:minutes) to appear.


But when I click in the text box, the full date appears.
I don't want this.
Is there a way to fix it?

You need to add format criteria for it to display correctly. Try this under your format setting.

hh:nn

That's not going to work; it'll still show as Date and Time when the Control has focus. How, exactly, are you populating this Control?

Depends on the control's data source and format used. If control is not enabled or if the table/field data type is set to medium time. Would need more details, but as posted it would work.

I converted the field to text (from Date/Time) and put a mask: 00:00\-00:00;0;_ (it's for working hours, e.g 09:00-17:00).
I guess what I needed was a mask and not a format, it works fine.

A mask will work with Date/Time field as well but not if you want both begin and end times in the same field. How do you expect to calculate elapsed time?

[panoss]

I 'm not going to calculate elapsed time, it's just the working hours of shops.
There will be no calculation based on the working hours.
But...maybe it's a good thought to replace it with two fields of Date/Time type.
I 'll have to think a little more on this.
