[AccessD] How do I

John,

  In terms of the field value, you can't.  Date/Time fields are doubles with
the date/time stored as:

  Date.Time

  Any value to the left of the decimal represents a date and that includes
0, which hands you back the base date of 12/29/1899.

  If you want time alone, you need to store the value in a decimal field or
use a scaled integer and use Time functions to translate it to a time as
needed.

Having a bit of a problem tonight.

Given #5/11/2000 3:20:00 PM#

How do I get rid of the date portion and return just the time?

I tried subtracting the clng(ThatDate) from the whole... sometimes worked
but sometimes gave me bad time (but never any date portion)

I tried dateadd("d",-clng(ThatDate),ThatDate)... That always gives me the
correct time but 12/29/1899 as the date portion if the time is in the PM.

I have a bunch of times that include the date and I need to strip the date
off the time.
