time

i am attempting to put a current time on my program, but it is set to where you must click on it...

what component should i use for real-time

here is my code

Me.lblTime.Caption = "" & _
Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss am/pm")

Put your code inside the timer event of a timer control. Set its interval to 1000. (1 sec)

~T

ok i did that

now i have it as


Me.Timer1.Caption = "" & _
Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss am/pm")


but the 'Caption' is a problem??

You don't do it as so.
You have to insert the timer on your form, set it's interval property to 1000, double click it, and then insert your code :

Me.lblTime.Caption = "" & _
Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss am/pm")

So if your timer is timer1, it goes like this (you don't need the qoutes):
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Me.lblTime.Caption = Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss am/pm")
End Sub
