For a Date and Digital Clock display on your Form:

1. Place a Lablel Control on your Form and name it lblClock.
2. Set the appropriate Properties such as Font, Font Size, Bold, Text Alignment, etc. for the Label.
3. Set the Form's Timer Interval to 1000 (1 second)
4. Place the code listed below in the On Timer() Event of the Form
5. The Clock will update itself every second - see sample output below

Private Sub Form_Timer()
  'There are many variations on the Date/Time display Format
  'this is just one of them
  Me![lblClock].Caption = Format$(Now(), "dddd, mmm dd, yyyy - hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
 End Sub

Output:

I followed these steps but when i tested the form it when into VB window and highlighted the Format$ while displaying the following error message:

Compile error:

Can't find project or library

Hi Atiq

the problem you say, u may have reference problems. In the vba window of Access, go to Tools/References. Are there any listed as missing?

Some alternatives to the digital clock (solution already provided)

How about a progressive clock?

Or maybe even an analogue clock
