Oh, sorry, I misread your message. I assumed you were trying to *output* a date/time value in a particular format, as in the original post in this thread.
You're actually trying to do the opposite, which is to *parse* a string value which represents a time specification. That's much more complicated, and there's really nothing built into FusionPro to do it, other than the DateFromString function, which is mainly just a wrapper around JavaScript's own Date.parse method (it also works around some Y2K-related issues when the year is specified with only two digits): <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Glob al_Objects:Date:parse> As you can see, this method only accepts date and time strings in very specific formats. You'd need to write some custom parsing code to parse something in a different format, which could get quite complex, at least too complex for me to code up in the context of this forum. You might be able to find something on the Internet, for example: http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+parse+military+time Where is this data coming from, anyway?
