Creating New Date/Time Variables and Formats

[Stephen C. Nodvin]

My Access databases has a field named "CallDate"
This field contains a value representing the Date and Time of each record.

AspDb displays "CallDate" as "8/6/98 5:53:20 PM"

What I actually want to do is to create TWO fields
1) Date in a standard date format
2) Time in "Military" time

So "Date" would display: "8/6/98"
and "Date" would display: "17:53:20"

I think this could be done maybe with VBScript and MagicCell?

For example, I am able to display the date from the server using:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode((FormatDateTime(Now(),2)))% >
and the time from the server using:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode((FormatDateTime(Now(),4)))% >

You can what I am trying to do at the URL :
http://tel_manage.televid.com/admin/management/management.html
follow the tree to Central_Server:Errors
you will need the following:
login_id: next_gen
password: telco

Look at the "CallDate" field.

Thanks to all who might be able to help.

Nodvin,
You can use FULL VB formatting in the magic Cell. Look at the following code -

<%
Response.write("<center><h3> Test Magic Cell - Date<BR></h3></center>")
Set X=Server.CreateObject("AspDB.Pro")
X.dbQuickProps="13;NWIND;orders;grid;4,auto,lightg reen"
X.dbNavigationItem="top,bottom,prev,next"
X.dbMagicCell="ShippedDate,,Format=[MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss]"
X.aspdbPro
%>

Replace the formtat string inside the [..] to the one that fits your need.

Frank:

I think there might be a BUG in the control.

I used your suggestion and entered the line:

"CallDate, align=Left , <font size=2 face=ARIAL color=black> Format=[MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss]"

I get the correct format
HOWEVER all of the results have an "8" tacked onto the end.
e.g 08/06/98 17:53:208

Is this a BUG or do you have additional suggestions?

Thanks,

Stephen

Stephen,

What is your version number ? I`ll retrieve that version and check it out. But the newer versions I`ve been working on has no such bug. Meanwhile, get the latest from support to get rid of the bug if there is one in your version.
