I have a subform with a datetime field (linked from SQL). It shows a calendar picker, but doesn't show the time. I switched the format to long date, and that didn't work. Anyone know what I'm missing? Users need to be able to pick or enter date AND time into the field. I've been researching, but not finding this issue anywhere.

Thanks!

I found if I typed a format (instead of picking General Date) the time shows properly. The format I typed in is the following:

mm/dd/yyyy h:nn ampm

In case it helps someone else. You can still use the standard date picker, but will need to leave and come back to the field to fix the time, which will say 12:00 AM. If anyone has a better way to handle that, let me know.

Thanks.

I believe if you search the web for "MS Access date/time picker form" you might find an alternative.
