updating time on form

[unforgiven]

I'm trying to figure out how to update the current time date on a main form. I'm using NOW() to display it but the time is when the form is opened. I need somthing like while form showing update. Just not sure it would be. thaks for your help!

How are ya unforgiven . . . . .

If I read you correctly, Have a look at the [blue]On Timer[/blue] & [blue]Timer Interval[/blue] properties.

Unforgiven,

Here's a routine that I've used for a while that displays the date and time contiuously.

This assures that they will appear when the form first opens up, while the Timer is cranking up:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me("txtOmega") = Right$(Now, 11) 'Time display
Me("txtDayRunner") = Date 'Date display
End Sub

Then to make it update continuously:

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

The default interval works fine, so you don't have to set the interval.

Hope this helps!
