• The separators in time fields and the order in which the time parts appear depend on the system formats set for the file and the display format for the field. To change the display format for a field (for example, 11:09 PM or 23:09), set options in the Time Format dialog box in Layout mode. See Specifying formats for time fields.
• To specify how data in a time field displays (for example, to specify whether the time is displayed in 12 hour or 24 hour format or shows “AM” and “PM”), see Formatting and setting up field objects in Layout mode.
• If you are using FileMaker Pro Advanced, you can copy field schemas from one file and paste them into the same file or some other file. For more information, see Copying and pasting field schemas (FileMaker Pro Advanced).
