Hi all

@Kevin

Well, AFAIK using ';' (semicolon) inserts a single '\t' (tab character)
and ';;' (double semicolon) inserts a single space. Someone could
correct me if I'm wrong.

Returning to the main question, I've tested your example with a slight
modification and things went worse... It doesn't print 'AM/PM' at all:

 Print "1: CDate(t):                          "; CDate(t)
 Print "2: Format$(CDate(t), \"hh:nn AM/PM\"):"; Format$(CDate(t),
"hh:nn AM/PM")
 Print "3: CDate(t):                          "; CDate(t)
 Print "4: Format$(CDate(t), \"hh:nn:AM/PM\"):"; Format$(CDate(t),
"hh:nn:AM/PM")
 Print "5: CDate(t):                          "; CDate(t)

Notice the space instead of ':' (colon) in the 2nd line. These are the
results:

1: CDate(t):                          26/06/2011 12:40:29
2: Format$(CDate(t), "hh:nn AM/PM"):  12:40
3: CDate(t):                          26/06/2011 12:40:29
4: Format$(CDate(t), "hh:nn:AM/PM"):  12:40:
5: CDate(t):                          26/06/2011 12:40:29


System here is Linux Mint 10 (32bit), Gnome, Gambas3 rev. #3899 with
Spanish localization, if it matters somehow.
