I stuck a digital lcd clock on the upper right corner of my monitor. Simplist solution yet!!

I assume you have unlimited resources so that you can stick a "digital lcd clock on the upper right corner" of every computer that uses your application.

This has been very helpful to me as I am new to this stuff. I placed the clock and the code and it works beautifully, just like missinglinq said it would. The database resides on our LAN. The problem is, I can see the clock and the date, but other users get a blank box. sometimes. other times it will crash the program on opening. I have none of these problems and since we are all using the program from the same location, why oh why doesn't it work?!

SuePee, which of the versions in this post are you using?

jdgeorge's worked best for me.

I can understand you saying that there is blank box for some of your users, but how do you know that the clock is causing the crash?

Show us the code you are using and tell us exactly what is happening....

Thanks for the quick response. Anyway, below is the code. It works fine on my computer, but on no one else's. When the others open the form, it reverts to the code listing with the error message:
"Compile Error: Can't find project or library."


Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me("txtOmega&quot = Right$(Now, 11) 'Time display
Me("txtDayRunner&quot = Left$(Now, 10) 'Date Display
End Sub

Thanks,

What was missing from my original post was the update function.

Just make two text boxes, Textclock and Textdate.

For one, the ControlSource is: =Now() and the Format is: hh:nn:ss
For the other, the ControlSource is: =Date() and the Format is: Long Date

Now in the form Properties, use codebuilder to make subroutine: OnTimer
Textclock.Requery
Textdate.Requery

and set timer inteval to 1000.
That's all that is required to make an on-screen clock for an Access form. And it updates. I use this function in Fire Dept dispatching software and it works great.

Hi back at you

You seem to have misunderstood the problem I am having. The clock works great on my machine, but fails when others try to use the form. I have written several databases that are accessed by many people on our network, even folks in other divisions have access to the databases. But this clock function is the very first time I have seen this type of problem. (Where it works on my computer and no one else's)
