change HH from 24 hrs to 12 hrs

I have a time value that I want to display in 12 hours instead of 24
hours(military time)
DATEPART(HH,@.ACTTIME)
How do I get 1 - 12 and instead of 0-23?Client side? Wouldn't it be nicer to let the end user choose how he/she
prefers to read the time?
Otherwise lookup the style parameter options on the CONVERT function.

--|||I hope the following helps you.
Declare @.ActTime DateTime
Set @.ActTime = '01/01/2005 11:15 PM'
Select Case
When DatePart(hh, @.ACTTIME) <= 12 Then DatePart(hh,@.ACTTIME)
ELSE DatePart(hh,@.ACTTIME) - 12
End

The basic priniciple of a tiered architecture is that the applications
do the display work, not the database.|||No server side. It's for a static dimension table. I don't see the utility
in it but the client request pays the bills. I have most of it compete.
I'll include it tomorrow.
Thanks
