I am using the DoScript plug-in by myFMbutler to execute a script based on the current time. The following calcs result in the following returns in Filemaker 8 Advanced.

## If the current time is 12:30 AM ##

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "12:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - yes

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "1:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - yes

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "2:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "3:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "4:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "5:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "6:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "7:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "8:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "9:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - no

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "10:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - yes

If ( Get ( CurrentTime ) > "11:00:00 AM"; "yes"; "no") RETURNS - yes

24 hour notation (00:00:00) returns yes for every time until 13:00:00

What format do I need to have the variable time in order for filemaker to recognize it correctly? This is driving me nuts. :

Well nevermind...

I just had to use GetAsNumber(Get(current time)) as well as retrieve the variable time as a number. Sometimes all you have to do is take the time to ask someone about a problem and BINGO you figure it out on your own.

Just FYI:

Get(CurrentTime) > "3:00:00 AM" // result: 0

Get(CurrentTime) > Time( 3; 0; 0 ) // result: 1
