Hi all, did a search on this topic and found some great help. My only
question is this: What I would like is JUST the time placed in the text box
when this is clicked, I have the date somewhere else. I tried using using the
input mask but it always gives me the full date and time.

I also tried this:

Private Sub txtCurrentTime_Click()
Me![Time] = Time()
End Sub

Doesn't work. Any and all help greatly appreciated.

They only possible reason your code doesn't work is because you have a
control named Time. Even though you reference it using brackets, it may
still be creating an ambiguity Access is having trouble with.

I just tested what you said doesn't work using standard naming conventions,
and it worked just fine.

Always avoid using any Access reserved words for names. Time, Date, Name,
Description, even Oct (it is a function name). To avoid any inadvertant
naming problems, it is a good idea to adopt a naming standard. Here is a
link that may help you get started with that:

Thanks Klatuu! Ya know, I have been schooled on naming before so I should
have known. If I want to just have it show Short Time - Military Time, where
can I tell it to do that? I tried the Short Time input mask but didn't work.

Thanks again.

Not the input mask, use the Format property. The Input Mask will only apply
to data entered manually into the control. When you populate a control
programmatically, the Input Mask is ignored.

Hmm, that is actually what I had Short Time in, the format box, I mispoke.

I am still getting the full time, like 11:33:09 AM

Thanks for all the help

Well, I am stumped. I will keep digging, prob something stupid. Thanks
again for all the help.

And no, time is correct, they call it the RIGHT coast for a reason! :)

Actually, I find that most of the Right coast is way to far to the left :)

Oh, you have NO idea how right (correct) you are, or maybe you do. I am not
sure how long I can live in the Northeast.
