Dear all,
I'd like to do this:

If the user puts a "7" in a time field, it should be shown "07:00".

At the moment this is not the case.
If the user puts a "7" into the field, the form shows just a "7". If the user puts a "07" into the field, the form shows the right format "07:00".

I hope, this questions aren't to silly.

Best regards and thanks in advance, Alfette

Hi,

you can use a small FormCalc script for your time field to do this.
Put it into the exit:event of the field:
if(len($) == 1) then$ = Concat(0, $)endif
