Hilary to the rescue once again! For some reason, dragging the control and dropping it on the form makes the time print correctly.

Thanks!

What controls are you using?

If you truly just need time, set the field to be a time data type and just drag and drop it onto the form. You can use a calculated value or expression box in your print view. But don't change the data type if this form is already in production and in use....

Printing a time field (without date part)

Hello,

My InfoPath form isn't printing a time field as desired. The date portion keeps on coming out now matter what I do to suppress all but the time.

I have three objects that are relevant to this topic. I have an underlying field in the data source. I have a control on the edit form. I also have a control on the print form.

If I set the underlying type of the field to date and time, set the control on the edit form to be a text box with time as the format, then set the control on the print form to also be a text box with a time format, two things happen. First, I have an error message on the print form that the "Control cannot display data correctly." When I try to print, I get the date portion.

If I set the underlying type of the field to time, set the control on the edit form t o be a text box with time as the format, then set the control on the print form to also be a text box with a time format, I still have the error "Control cannot display data correctly." I also get the date part when printing.

Is it possible to actually have my user enter a time and have only the time show up on the print form? Thanks.
