DateTimeValue dropping seconds value on conversion

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by HKICE 239
Hello -
 
I am using the DateTimeValue function and it is dropping the SECONDS value when used like this:
 
 
DateTimeValue(Concatenate(dtEventDate.SelectedDate, " " , Text(Now(), "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")))
 
The "dtEventDate" is just a simple classic "Date Picker" control.(see snapshot below)
 
If I use just 
(Concatenate(dtEventDate.SelectedDate, " " , Text(Now(), "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")))
then the output is fine:
 
What am I doing wrong when I am using the DateTimeValue function ?
Thanks.

    Hi 
     
    Correct, because you are applying a format for the Concat, but you are not for he DateTimeValue conversion so it uses its default.
     
    You should be able to use  DateTiemValue(stuffhere, DateTimeFormat.LongDateTime)
