time stamp control

[Greg_Shipley]

I am using the Time stamp control to allow a user to enter a date easily. How do I convert the time stamp data to a string?
Using V7.1 on Win2000.

thanks.

Greg,

Use the "Format Date/Time String" function from the Time & Dialog palette. You can either stick to the default output format, or you can produce an arbitrary date/time format by wiring in a format string of your own (see the help). For example, "%I:%M:%S %m/%d/%y" would produce an output like "00:14:41 01/29/04".
