The EDITTIME field cannot be formatted using a date-time picture switch.

The following field displays the edittime in the hh:mm format:

   {=int({edittime}/60)}:{={={edittime}-({=int({edittime}/60)}*60)}\# 00}

NOTE: All {} are field braces created by using the Insert Field key (CTRL+F9), not the brace keys on the keyboard.
