Hi

I have a userform in outlook.

In the code of the form I have the following code:

Sub Datum_Click()

Item.Body = Item.Body & vbCrLf & Date() & " - " & Time() & ": "
Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("{TAB 11}")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("^{End}")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("^{backspace}")

End Sub

I have button in the form that starts this code.

Date - time is inserted at the end of the form body.

Date is ok but in time format I do not need seconds.

Can you help me with the correct code to insert date - hh:mm. no seconds.

regards

You need to use Format(time, "hh:mm") - for 12 hour time, use Format(Time, "h:mm am/pm")

BTW, is your account working ok? I made a boo-boo last night when i was working on the forum and had to restore from a backup then restore posts and accounts created between the backup and the boo-boo - the accounts are giving me fits.

I tried


Item.Body = Item.Body & vbCrLf & Date() & " - " & Format(time, "hh:mm") & ": "
in the code of the outlook form


when I press the button I get an error :


Typenkonflikt: 'Format'

is the code working in your outlook form?

 
It works in VB :) But not in vbsript, which is in the View Code dialog in a custom form.

The works in the view code dialog - FormatDateTime(Time,4) but its in 24 hr time. a 3 will use the long time format in Control panel.

If you need 12 hour format, you can use a function -

Code:
Function timeStamp()
If Hour(now) > 12 then timeStamp = Hour(now)-12 & ":" & Minute(now) & " PM"  else timeStamp = Hour(now) & ":" & Minute(now) 
 
End Function
 
THX Forum Admin - That is the solution
I have now:

Item.Body = Item.Body & vbCrLf & Date() & " - " & FormatDateTime(Time,4) & ": "
Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("{TAB 11}")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("^{End}")
objWSHShell.SendKeys("^{backspace}")

SOLVED many THX :)

PS: by the way is there a better way to place the cursor at the end of the body to the inseted date & Time??

schould I open a seperate Thread?

Re: insert Date & Time (HH:mm) no (ss) in userform

This thread is fine since it applies to this macro.

It's no worse than any other method, since Outlook's VBA doesn't cover cursor position.

The other option is using word object - - this is the block I use in macros but it won't work in vbscript.

Dim olInspector As Outlook.Inspector

Dim olDocument As Word.Document

Dim olSelection As Word.Selection

Set olInspector = Application.ActiveInspector()

Set olDocument = olInspector.WordEditor

Set olSelection = olDocument.Application.Selection

olSelection.InsertBefore 'or .InsertAfter
