Having a clock displayed on a Form

[atiq]

i am trying to create a clock with the date that i could display on a form? can someone help me design a basic one? any help would be appreciated

Windows has a clock on the TaskBar for free. You would need to use the timer event to keep one up to the second or minute in Access and that takes machine resources and sometimes running the timer event too often causes strange results on your form. Are you sure you want to put a clock on your form?

Having a clock on the form does take system resources.....

And to demonstrate that it can be done, but have a look at the amount of code....

Ooops, In the StartUp Options, I hid the Db window but forgot to set the Analogue clock as the start up form. try holding down the shift key when opening
