Maybe set the textbox value to datetime()+1800 at the end timer event code.
-----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Johnson Sent: Thursday, 22 May 2014 8:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Datetime() on form question I have a form that doesn't do much. It just reports a data call and the results every half hour in an edit box. There is a timer on the form that executes an external exe. I would like to display a datetime() on the form so the user can see the next data call. Just putting a datetime() in a textbox will show the same time it was initiated so I need to refresh it. Is the best approach an additional timer to refresh the datetime() testbox? If so, how often? Every second? Minute? TIA for your ideas. -- Jeff Jeff Johnson [email protected] SanDC, Inc. 623-582-0323 Fax 623-869-0675 http://www.san-dc.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
