display date and time on a form

[antonyx]

hi, i have created a form and would like to display todays date and time in the following format

Mon 6 June 2005 24:00

this will literally be just on the form, no link to anything or any extra dynamic features. just there for the user's benefit

if anyone could tell me the steps that need to be taken, im guessing some formatting will need to be done, or some script will need to be placed in the form event code builder.
i have only recently focused my attention on ms access so a descriptive but to the point explanation will be ideal thanks

how do you add a control to a form

click on insert menu and click on date/time and check mark in both boxes. It has three option under each check box, click on the relevent one and press okay, voila.

how do you add a control to a form

Wannebepro is giving you how to insert a date/time onto a form, but that inserts 2 controls.

To insert a control on a form, open the form in Design Mode and select the Text box from the Control toolbox, then click on your form and draw the textbox. Right click to open the Properties and follow what Pat told you.

That's how you would add any control to a form.
