I have this bit of code that does not work right. I am trying to isolate the hour in the time value:

Today(curr_date)
DateTimePart curr_date, "hh", hour
messagebox hour

I have also tried using:
Now(time_now)

But when I look at the value for the 'hour', I get 0.
The 'hour' variable is dimmed as a number.

Any suggestions?

Method 1:
Dim time_now, time
Dim hour, number
Now time_now
DateTimePart time_now, "hh", hour
MessageBox hour

Method 2:
MessageBox "@T"h""

or alternatively using a variable

Dim hour, number, @T"h"
MessageBox hour

Method 1 does not work at all. When I get the message box, I get "0" as a resultm when the time was 11:00 or 1:00. Why is this failing?

IF you are still running one of the old versions 3.x.x please upgrade. The upgrade is free.
