Data Frame Time - Removing Date from the Text

Question

Hi,

I have only one day at my data frame (i.e. 27 May 2010), but different times (between 06:00 and 09:00). That's why, I only want the time (06:00,) to be displayed in the data frame time without the day, as it is not changing. The output looks kile as follows;
[ATTACH=CONFIG]13171[/ATTACH]

The text under the properties of the data frame time appears as;
"Time: <dyn type="dataFrame" name="Layers" property="time" emptyStr="[off]"/>"

It is written under "About Formatting Text" that the displayed dynamic text could be changed by adjusting the emptyStr field. However, there is very little information on adjusting this emptyStr option, so I could not find an answer.

Would you please help me to remove the day showing on the Data Frame Time?

Thanks in advance,
Berk

If tags aren't doing it, I'd separate the date & time into two fields in the attribute table.

Berk,

It seems as using data frame times is possible when you have some time-enabled layers added to a map. Is it the case?
There is a time dynamic text tag. Thought what would happen if you'd combined the format parameter of the time tag with the dyn type "data frame"?

"Time: <dyn type="dataFrame" name="Layers" property="time" format="hh:mm tt" emptyStr="[off]"/>"

I also have this problem.  I have tried adding the format tag after the time property with no success.  Is there a solution to this?
