Date/Time field in Table only showing Date

[Laurad]

I need to show the exact date and time when records are added to a table. I've created a small table with 3 fields, one of which is DateEntered, Date/Time and the Format is General which should show the date AND the time. Unfortunately it's only showing the Date, both in the table and on a form where I have put a text box to show the Date/Time. What am I missing?
Thanks

How did you fill the date/time field? Did you use "field = Date()" or "field = Now()"

A general date should include time, but not if you use Date() as the source.

You're a star, thank you. It didn't occur to me to use Now() when populating the field, I did think Date() carried the Date and Time. Thanks for saving me time and effort, much appreciated. It works fine now.

in passing, note also that time() gives the time without the date.

Thank you, that's useful to know also. Dates and Times are powerful features and are quite complex. Grateful for the help
