Well done! Its these little tricks that help get the job done that help
us learn.

Here is an SQL solution:

SELECT DATENAME(hh,GETDATE()) + ':' + DATENAME(mi,GETDATE()) + CASE WHEN
DATENAME(hh,GETDATE()) >= '12' THEN ' PM' ELSE ' AM' END AS Time

Hi again,

Just to say that I've tried to cheat it a little, with the following:

<%IF FormatDateTime((rsEvent.Fields.Item("eventdatetime").Value),
vbShortTime) > "11:59" Then %>
<%= FormatDateTime((rsEvent.Fields.Item("eventdatetime").Value),
vbShortTime) %> PM
<%ELSE%>
<%= FormatDateTime((rsEvent.Fields.Item("eventdatetime").Value),
vbShortTime) %> AM
<%End IF%>

...seems to have done the trick! What a "carry on" though! :o)

It doesn't look like there is a built in way to do this, I guess its
because the time is in 24 hour format already.

To do what you want your going to need to be clever and program it.

First you convert the time into 14:30, then keep just the first 2
character, convert it to a number, and then if the number is less than
12 output AM, else output PM. It might be easier to do in SQL, so I will
put my thinking cap on and see what I can do for you. My next break is
at 12:30 so will see what I can do then.

Hi Steve,

Followed that link, but there's nothing there!
It gives you either HH:mm:ss AM/PM or HH:mm and I need HH:mm AM/PM!

This is what I was meaning. It seems like there is every way of doing it,
apart from the way I need!

If I've got 01/10/2008 14:30:00 in my smalldatetime field, I want to be able
to display the time simply as:

14:30 PM

Is this possible?

Thanks again.
Nath.
