The trick is to subtract a date from your date (which makes it an
integer) and then use the modulus operator "%"

Subject: How to search by time in a date/time field

Hello Listers,

        I was hoping someone might give some insight or suggestions on
how to search on time within a date/time field.  It seems to be an easy
answer, but is evading me at this time, and while my team is researching
ways to do this by an outside process, I was wondering if it was
possible to do by a search within the application as well.

I have a date/time field called 'arrival time' which shows the dates as:

12/7/2006 7:26:41 AM

but what I need to do is search for a time frame.  For example, I want
to find all the tickets that were created between 5pm and 8am for the
entire month of November.

So far my experiments have failed, and I am still researching but wanted
to ask if anyone else had to do this and what your solution was.

thank you,
