I suggest you used a real date and not a timestamp for the calendar-box. For this I would split the timestamp within the script per:

floor([Date Time stamp]) as date

frac([Date Time stamp]) as time

as single fields - maybe additionally but see here: The Importance Of Being Distinct.

I assume you are be confused from the numbers in these fields but dates and times are numbers which you could show in many different formatings. I suggest you keep the above created num-fields and add to them which with a formating of your choice:

floor([Date Time stamp]) as NumDate // it's a lot easier to calculate with numbers

frac([Date Time stamp]) as NumTime

date(floor([Date Time stamp]), 'DD.MM.YYYY') as Date

time(frac([Date Time stamp]), 'hh:mm:ss') as Time

and maybe some date/time-clusters like:

year([Date Time stamp]) as Year

month([Date Time stamp]) as Month

hour([Date Time stamp]) as Hour

minute([Date Time stamp]) as Minute

second([Date Time stamp]) as Second

For these topics you should also look to:

The Master Calendar

The Master Time Table

And now you could use these Date-Field for a calendar-box and/or various listboxes with the date/time cluster fields.
