    Brenden,

    [mac 5.0.9 (build 15730]

    I have been having a real hard time trying to keep my time fields properly formatted. I get a field set up and working properly, leave Tap Forms for a while (with or without closing program) and come back to see my field all messed up: instead of 02:40 i get something like 262975:40.The problem is erratic as it goofs up my fields in one record and not another. Please look at the screen shots I have attached. Can you see anything amiss?

    Thanks,

    Jim

    Try switching those Time fields temporarily to Date & Time fields to see if the date portion are actually on the same date. That could explain the large numbers if they’re not.

    Brendan,

    Sorry I misspelled your name in earlier post.

    I did as you suggested–see Wiley-dateTime.png. Notice the default date time in fields Time 2 begin and time 2 end.

    I then changed the two fields back to time fields got the error again; see Wiley-dateTime-4.png.

    Thanks for your help!

    Jim

    Interesting. Would you be able to email me your form template (.tff file) so I could experiment with it?
