Date and Time

[DKinsley]

I want to have the current date and time entered into a field when the form user clicks a custom e-mail button so I know when the form was e-mailed. Is there a scipt that I can add to the click event of the custom button, that will enter the current time and date when the button is clicked?

There a several ways to get the current date&time.

One would be xfa.host.currentDateTime() which returns a date time string int the ISO 8601-Format JJJJMMTTHHMMSS.

Thanks for your reply radzmar. Is there one that would display the day first like,

Tues 2/19/2013 2:21PM

Is there a reference manual for these?

Thanks again!

Hi,

this can be done with FormCalc.

Concat(Num2Date(date(), "EEE D/M/YYYY "), Num2Time(time(), "H:MM A"))

There are a couple of manuals for Designer available.

You should use the Scripting Basics and Reference and also the FormCalc User Reference.
