Can this be done???

[mkelly]

I have never tried this.

They want me to develope a database to track and schedule copy jobs. The pc will be linked to a flat screen on the wall that will show all the jobs when they are do who they are assigned to etc.

Is it possible to have that report or form include a clock and continually update itself?

Any help Ideas appriciated.

thanks

m,

A form can be based on a query and use the Timer Event to
periodically "Requery" to collect and display new data.

Other forms on other PCs can gather data from people as
they process work requests.

A report is static and can only have a time printed, it can't
continuously update itself.

It sounds like a nice application.

thanks for the info. If and when I complete this I can send you a copy if you would like.

mkelly,

Yes, please.

If you need help in the interim, please post.

Also, there are many examples of "clocks" for your form, so don't
waste too much time on that aspect.
