Ok ok.  Hope someone can help me out here!

I tried this in Acrobat Pro first, but I dont know Javascript and so couldn't modify the "Call Date" script to get the Time instead.

Fortunately, I also have Livecycle and everything looked so simple BUT it's not working.

Let me explain what I'm trying to do.  My boss asked me to develop a log entry form in where after the user types in an entry and leaves the field then the time of the entry is automatically logged.  This field should be unalterable.

I set up a Text Field (to act as the log entry form field).  I then set up a Date/Time field.  I went to Binding and changed it to Time.  I changed the Value to Read Only, and then the Pattern to h:MM A. 

Set up the action- when user exits the text field, the Date/Time field value is inserted automatically.

This works beautifully EXCEPT I only get the DATE!  I've tried Protected, Read Only (calculated) etc.  This requires a script to be called.... the very thing I hoped to avoid since I can't code.  RunTime worked somewhat-- but in the PDF itself, when the user exits the text field, the date AND time shows up, but if that field is clicked, the time is updated.  I don't want it updated.  My boss wants to see the time that the log entry was completed so it can't be changed by the user or updated.

I hope I'm clear as to what I need.  Anybody can help?  Hope so!

Thanks--
