You're really going to have to do a better job of telling us what you're
trying to do in more detail in order for us to help you.

Not in a "form field", no, but you can set a Form's Timer property; or record
the current time in some appropriate form event.

Since you don't say what your form is doing or what you want to time, it's a
bit hard to be specific... but to directly answer your question, "Yes with
reservations".
