Realtime clock on a form

Okay missing, I guess you are referring to me. I stated that I had to ask
why. I didn't try to force my way on anyone as I said sometimes designers
put too much fluff in the db. The chief, explained why he needs the time in
the form. I certainly do see that police or fire in a mobile situation need
a large clock and I don't believe this is fluff.
You, sir have shown that your nom de plume is appropro in that you are
missing something when you infer things from a post as you have mine. You
need to read things more closely before jumping in.

Hey,Chief!

Posters here are just like many people in life, they tend to see the world
thru the narrow viewport of their own experiences, never giving thought that
there may be other realities! Unfortunately, this deosn't keep them from
trying to force their views on others! My philosophy over the years has been
to simply ignore posters that only criticize without giving any positive
suggestions!

Wow, jahoobob! My post wasn't a slam at you, or anyone else in particular! I
was just explaining to the Chief, who is new both to Access and the world of
forums, that many posters only answer posts according to their own
experiences, and if his needs fall outside of those experiences, he needs to
ignore their advice, however well intentioned it was! If I was going to slam
you, I'd call you by name! In point of fact, the only alledged person I've
ever been unkind to, here or on any other forum, is that bane of all of here,
Aaron Kemph, aka Steve, aka whoever's name he's currently hijacking for his
diatribes/advertising! Just as an aside, to anyone else looking in, I
understand tha Kemph has also taken to tracking down posters' email address
when he can, and is emailing them offering his services!

BTW, jahoobob, I totally agree with your comment about many developers
putting "fluff" into their apps! I make several visits to about six forums a
day, and the day never goes by without my seeing half a dozen or more posts
from people who want to do the most assinine things with their DBs! And the
truly sad thing is that these are the same people who don't have a clue about
the most basic functions of Access!

My apologies. Sorry for jumping to an erroneous conclusion.

Hey, Chief!

Unless you need the status bar for some other reason, I think you can get rid
of the "Calculating..." message by simply not displaying the task bar!

Goto Tools - Startup and unchecking the "Display Task Bar"

Hi,

I get a run time error '438' but I am trying to max the screen aswell.
Anyone know where I'm going wrong. I would ideally like the time and a max'd
screen.

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

DoCmd.Maximize
Me.txtOmega = Time

End Sub

Thanks in advance,

AW

Hello, again, Chief!

Here's a thing I use. You'll need a textbox called txtOmega (yeah, I'm a
watch fanatic) and you'll maybe want to add some cosmetics to it, like a
frame around it. If you'd also like to show the date, add a textbox called
txtDayRunner.

Goto your form’s property box. Under the Event Tab find Timer Interval and
enter 1000.


Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'Displays while waiting for timer to crank up
Me.txtOmega = Time
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.txtOmega = Time 'Display time
Me.txtDayRunner = Date 'Display date
End Sub
