The #NOW system variable works for the table entry. I will try adding the digital clock for looks.
I have two DBlookupcombobox fields Component ids are on both of them. I am setting this up to be used with a combination scan/touch screen. In the speed button that will be used to enter the rows I have this code. SAVEROW GETPROPERTY Comp_emp TEXTVALUE 'vemp' GETPROPERTY Comp_proc TEXTVALUE 'vproc' PROPERTY Comp_emp TEXTVALUE 'vemp' PROPERTY Comp_proc TEXTVALUE 'vproc' RETURN The purpose is to keep the same information showing in the boxes. The Comp_emp is showing the same info after pressing the speed button. The comp_proc however comes up blank. Am I using the wrong code?

It will run continuously. Create the DateTime insert on the magic button.
