Problem the time from datepicker in vb6

never used the date picker before
i am trying to get the time to use in a filename using the date picker
the code:

Private Sub Command_Click()
Dim fName As String
Dim mytime As Date
mytime = Hour(DTPicker1.Value)
fName = "Dy" & mytime
MsgBox fName
End Sub

isnoend2001,
Your upload doesn't seem to have worked. Marty, and anyone else, can't help you unless we know what you are doing to produce the display message.

Where do you change the time?

Martin Liss

Please explain what you are trying to do here.

mytime = Hour(DTPicker1.Value)
fName = "Dy" & mytime

Martin Liss

See me question above but if all you want is to produce "Dy 23" for example if the time is 11PM then change mytime from a Date to and Integer.

What i am trying to do is produce a filename to match the time selected eg:
11:45 = Da 1145
