How to add the Timer control to the Toolbox

[accesser]

Hi

I am working on the Access 2002. I need to know how to add the timer control to the form so I can use it inside the code. It doesn't appear in the Toolbox.

PLEASE ADVISE ME.

thanks

create a textbox.
in your form open event

me.timerinterval=1000

in your timer event
me.TextboxName.value=Now.

But I cant add the Timer control itself to the form because I can't find it in the toolbox. How can I add the Timer control first to the form.

Thanks

Accesser,

You don't really add anything. Get a form in Design View, right-click to bring
up the Properties box.

Look at the Event Tab for the form's property. Set the Timer Interval to
some number of milliseconds. Then for in the OnTimer event, put:
[Event Function] and enter your code in the VBA editor.

the timer control is more of a property than a tool

There is no timer class in Access as there is in VB .NET, for instance. In Access a form object has a timer event which fires every "TimerInterval" milliseconds. You can then write a procedure that handles this event.
