I have found the calender that you can use and it is grand, but when it comes to filling in time is there a clock? Or do anyone have some clever suggestion how to design it?

Thanks

If you want to insert the "Current Time" there is a Key Combination, Script Step, and a Main Menu selection to do this.

If you are creating a user interface that you want to use for inserting any time, then you will want to create a Value List of the times to be used.

You can also build a time generator using separate hour and minute dial graphics with transparent set field buttons over top. The time becomes a calculated field from the setting of the hour and the minute dials.

I did one of these with an hour setting, limited minute setting ( 00, 15, 30, 45) and an AM PM value list. The appearance was two dials and a drop down list for the AM/PM field. It has been in use for awhile and works well. Getting more detailed in the minutes could be a problem if you want to keep the time selection screen area small.

This was being used for setting appointments, so once all of the data was in a set appointment script then set record fields with various calculated values and global field values. The calculated time field was unstored and updated in real time in front of them for feedback.
