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

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):

Code:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Me.lblTime.Caption = Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss am/pm")
End Sub
