InfoPath Dev

Dears, I have three fields in info path form library 1. Field 1 = Hour (data type is text). this is a drop down list where user can choose the value. For example the values will be like 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30, etc. 2. Field 2 = Meridian (data type is text). this will be radio button with two values AM, PM 3. Field 3 = Selected_Hour (data type is Time). the value of this field is based on above two fields. For example i choose 7:30 from first field drop down list and PM from second field radio button then the result in the third field must be 7:30 PM. Here i used concat function but the ends with an error. Error is 'Only date or time allowed'. Any help on this ?

Time is stored in XML as 24 hour time, with minutes and seconds. So, if you wanted to set a time field to 3 pm (for example) you'd set it to 15:00:00. This means you'll need to do more than just set the field to the concatenated value of your two fields. Personally, I would change the first dropdown to have the time plus am / pm, and have that for the display, with the value in the time format expected by IP. See attached sample - save the file locally, right click and select design, then you can preview it. I only added a few sample times to the dropdown, but it should give you the general idea.
