  You could create another column newTimeCol and set it to time 

 

  UPDATE table SET newTimeCol = oldTextCol 

 

   This should work as long as each row has AM or PM in it

 

   You could also just change the column from text to time. This may caused 
problems with reports/forms etc.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - convert text to time data type

 

I have a text field that a user selects from for each hour. 

 

8:00 AM

9:00 AM

10:00 AM

….

 

I need to convert that to a time format so I can use it in calculations. I do 
not see a function to do so. Anyone know how I can convert it?

 

TIA
