clock - time display

[Lanason]

How do I display the CURRENT time on a form - ie keeps updating without refreshing the form ??

Put a caption on your form. Call it lblCurrentTime.

Open the Form's properties. Set the Form's TimerInterval to 1000.
In the OnTimer event put this code:

Me.lblCurrentTime = Now()

This, however, is pointless as you typically have a clock on your computer in the bottom right corner anyway.

It'll also slow down your system.

caption ??

whats a Caption ? is it a text box or button.

Speed is not an issue and I want to display date and time in a particular part of the screen.

The time on my task bar hides on my pc and needs a mouse move to activate ....

A label. I think you may have to put this in the OnTimer event

    Me!lblCurrentTime .Caption = Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss")
