Running clock 1

[mattpearcey]

Does anyone know where i can find, or how i can implement a time date function, so as to have the day, date and actuall realt time 'running' clcok on one of my forms in the header? I have it set so that it updates everytime you open the form, but i would like to see it as a real time, running clock.

Any ideasm or where i could find this? Thank you for your help already.

1. There is a company call FMS that has a package called Total Access Components 2000. It has a clock that counts the seconds on the screen. The Developer's Suite cost me about 800 bucks. It comes with four other software packages.

2. You could also set your form's timer event to update the clock for free. ljprodev@yahoo.com

I think the free option is my preferred. I think i may have done this already, but what i want to do is get the clock to be running on the form. At the moment, it just updates everytime i enter a new form or new record. So, when in s a form, the time remains static. Could you advise me as to how to set theupdate event to have the clock running at all times.

Thank you for your help already.

hi,

very simple solution:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form_Timer
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.TimerInterval = 1000
Me.Caption = Time '' or date or whatever
End Sub
