How to Format Time Fields in Crystal Reports
The obvious way to me would be to change your date/time field to a text
field, then format it to look like a date or time (ie:
format(yourvariable, HH-MM AMPM), etc,etc. this works for either time
or dates.
The only down side to this is that if you need to use the date/time
field in a sort, then it won't work. I have gotten around this by using
formula fields to convert it back to date, which is kind of a pain in
the ass, but it does work.
Check out crystal's web site, they have a pretty decent knowledge base
for this, and if you have a question, they will email you back in a day
or two (crystalinc.com)
I really haven't quite figured crystal out yet. It seems that
everything you need to do has to be done differently than you would
expect. But I have'nt found anything yet that can't be done.
Good luck!
