Tore Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 what is the easy way to get rid of the seconds in a timestamp field? Do I have to use a text field and calculate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmitts707 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I just turn them off in the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Is this a v8 only? I have v7, and making the change via the Time Field Format, the change doesn't show in Browse mode. I don't see a separate one a TimeStamp format.. If it is possible, please list the steps in more detail. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shadow Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The calculation: stamp - Mod(stamp,60) where stamp is your timestamp and the calculation returns type timestamp will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Smith Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi comment, Thanks for pointing that out to us, and it seems logical when you think about it. Leaving one formatted as entered, and changing the other one would tend to confuse poor little FileMaker on what to do. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
