How can i make the time continuous on my switchboard

[burton]

the time on my switchboard updates only when you select a button. it doesn't change time when you leave it. i used the insert time and date function. can anybody help?

Are you talking about a ticking clock?

If you set the form's TimerInterval to 1000 and the form's OnTimer() event to:

YourControl = Time()

then the time should update every second.

how do i set the forms timer interval

On the form's properties, near the bottom there's Timer Interval

Or in code:

Me.TimerInterval = 1000

you know where you put YourControl = Time() would i have to insert a blank textbox?
or how else would i do it?

Personally, I would use a label on the form

lblYourLabel.Caption = Time()

i still don't know how to do it.
i make a label called time.
set the the timer interval to 1000.
what do i set the on timer too?
do i have to create a macro?

Have a look at this attachment.

You shouldn't be making a label called Time as it is reserved by Access.
