Or it is possible to set the datepicker to be the system value?
Thanks

Hi,

It is possible to set the date/time picker's value to the current date.

If you use:

DTPicker.value = Now()

That will set the picker to the system date.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Sorry, forgot to respond to your first question. You can set a variable equal to Now() in the same way as the DTPicker so you can use it on your form.

Hi,
I used your code but it gives me the following error problem: "Run time error 424
Object required"
DO you have why does it do this?

Sorry, I made a mistake, because i forgot that i renamed from DTPpicker to DTPdate.
Thank's again,

Hi,

If you try adding a new DTPicker to your form and use the following:

DTPicker1.Value = Now()

That should work (assuming your DTPicker is named DTPicker1 that is).

Hope this helps

dim strDate as string
strDate = format$(date,"hh:mm:ss")

label1.caption = strDate

sorry, mis-read.
For date:

Dim strDate As String
strDate = Format$(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy")

Label1.Caption = strDate
