Easy Time Entry on a form?? Help.
I am working on a project that is requiring many date and time fields.
From these I will be building queries that will be calculating different elapsed time values. In the past I have used a pop up calendar making the entry of a date quicker/easier. Has anybody come up with a tool that does the same with time? My fields are formatted as a general date and on my data entry form I customized an input mask to take the full date and military time entries, it just results in alot of repetative entry when in most cases everything happens on the same day. However on those occasions when the data covers time before and after midnight it is necessary. I appreciate any thoughts or ideas/solutions. Thank you

Easy Time Entry on a form?? Help.
Thanks for your reply, I looked at that but could not get anything but a
calendar for the date to show up. I have used Allen Browne's Calendar Control extensively in just about every tool I have built but cannot find a clock control. Date and Time picker has one? Are there problems with that control? If I found the controls I was thinking of assigning a command button to run update queries on all the date and time fields one at a time as the data is entered. One button for field 1, oanother for field 2 etc. Thanks for your ideas -- Jeff C Live Well ..

Easy Time Entry on a form?? Help.
Hello! My situation is almost exactly like what JeffC described. I have
several fields that require both date and time to be entered, and it would be nice if I could provide a calendar tool to make data entry easier. Would you be able to forward me that zip file you sent Jeff? Or point me to a website or two that have date and time pickers? techgeek1234 at hotmail.com Thank you! "Van T.
