'selection of booking times
sngsubpayable = Val(sngPerhour) * Val(sngnumhours)
'returns sub payable amount minus sign before fig
sngtotpayable = Val(sngdeposit) + Val(sngsubpayable)
'returns total payable amount
timetxt = mystr = Format(mytime, "h:m:s")
'The above line returns true in the timetxt box

Hi, fellow Essex Man,

To get today's date and current time use Now.
To format the Time use: timetext = Format(Now,"hh:mm:ss")
