Time function

**Seraph** · 12-13-2003, 07:22 PM

My brain melted tonight.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do the time function.

I need to set the day_status to "on" or "off" depending on the time of day.
dim day_start as string
dim day_end as string

day_start = "7:00 AM"
day_end = "6:30 PM"
If time > day_start and time < day_end
day_status = true
else
day_status = false
end if

Something seems wrong here. What am I doing wrong?

It look alright, but Ill normally stick in brackets just to be sure

If (time > day_start) and (time < day_end)

I got it. Brain fart tonight.

I have to seperate it in 2

From (morning to noon) or (noon to evening) did the trick.

If (Time > Day_Start) And (Time < "11:59 AM") Or (Time > "12:00 PM") And (Time < Day_End) Then
Status_day = True
Else
Status_day = False
End If

This did the trick

The first code should be fine...it must have got cofused with the AM and PM. The 24 hours format should work

Why did I not think of that? 24 hour format!!!! AH!!!! I just got the mute/unmute feature.

Thanks for the help.

Too much party perhaps...my brain is already aching from coding this little PIC microcontroller.

I wish I can code big apps

Shouldn't have picked a managment college.

they don't teach much programming there. Just kidding, couldn't resist.

I am a network admin/database admin. I hate to code (for a living). I do code at work but nothing big. Normally scripts and such. My attention span is shorter than that of a fruit fly so I can not sit still.

What did 5 years of college teach me? Not much at all that is useful in my day to day work. I am enjoying the interface coding though. This is kind of a break from things I do. Relaxes me.
