We have lots of date formatting stuff, but not as much for times. The brute-force method might look like:[Format 5s][entrytime][/Format][ShowIf [entrytime]>11:59]p[/ShowIf][HideIf [entrytime]>11:59]a[/HideIf]mOr, you could store it in the database in the desired format:entrytime=[date %I:%M%p]Grant Hulbert, V.P.
