How do I refresh data in a text box on a form?

[Jimenda]

I have inserted a date/time box on my form and I would like to refresh it. It current just remains at the D/T when I open the form. So, how can I refresh data in certain portions of my form?

Thank You

Jimenda

Use the TimerEvent of the form to refresh it.
Timer interval=100

Agreed this is probably the only way,however it can be annoying as all the controls are refreshed and sometimes this can lead to flickering

If IT ain’t working Binnit and Reboot

Thanks for the answers.
But, maybe I'm not approaching this correctly, is there a way for me to display realtime on a form?

Zameer gave you the answer already:
populate your DateTime box in the Timer event procedure of the form.

Hope This Helps, PH.
