Time & Date Stamp when sent

[reg614]

I would like to create a function that would time & date stamp my form at the time it's being sent.  I have a button designed to e-mail the PDF to a specific e-mail inbox.  Is there a way to time & date stamp this form at the time the individual presses the Send button on the form?

Is the Date and Time to appear in the subject of the email or is it just a field on the form?

I would like the date/time stamp to appear on the form.  Also, if the time would be formatted in 24 hrs., it would be very helpful.

So you woudl hide the submit button that you are using to send the email (I will call this Submit). Then I woudl place a regular button onto the form and name it appropraitely for the user to understand that this is th esubmit button that they should press. There are functions in both Javascrip and formcalc that will return to you the current date and time (you can ask for whatever format you want). So your buttons click event will call those functions, place the results in the field that you want to hold them then hit the hidden submt button by using this code:

hidden button name.execEvent("click");

Hope that helps

Thank you!

Is there a way to format the "Time" as military, or 24 hour time?

Hello Paul,

I would like to do something similar to Robert did in this forum. Is the attachment available now? If so can you please upload a sample file. If not, can I please have a copy of it. Please provide your email as I do not want to post my email here.

Thanks a lot in advance,

I do not have that file any longer ..... I would hav edeleted it after sending it as it was his form and not mine.

If you want to send yours to LiveCycle8@gmail.com I can probably rig something together for you. Include a description of your issue in the email please.
