Access: Hour Function


In Access, the Hour function returns the hour of the day (a number from 0 to 23) given a time value.

The syntax for the Hour function is:

Hour ( time_value )

time_value is a valid time.


For example:

Hour (#10:42:58 PM#) would return 22
Hour (#10:42:58 AM#) would return 10
Hour (#22/11/2003 10:42:58 PM#) would return 22

VBA Code

The Hour function can be used in VBA code. For example:

Dim LHour As Integer

LHour = Hour(#10:42:58 PM#)

In this example, the variable called LHour would now contain the value of 22.


SQL/Queries

You can also use the Hour function in a query.
