I am creating a time monitoring system that will record the time spent in working of the employees as well as the dates they went to work.

This is a REAL TIME monitoring system. First, I just want to know if my code for displaying the time in the form is correct.

CODE

Label7.Caption = "" & Time


My problem is, it only displays the time when I begin to run my VB program, nothing happens next. I have seen some VB programs having a real time displayed, the time is running BUT with my VB program, the time is not running it's just stucked up there.

Do I need some other codes?

Thanks.. smile.gif

You need to use a TimerControl, then in the Timer1_Click event change the time, set the interval to 1 second

Uhm...I did some codes that differ from the one that you gave.I did the following:

CODE

Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 1000
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
txtDateTime.Text = Now
End Sub


It worked...and there's nothing wrong with it. BUT I still want to know what is the difference if I have set the interval to 1000 instead of 1(which you told me to do)?

By the way, my user login system already worked. Thanks for the help! smile.gif And I also would like to thank you for being patient and understanding for "beginners" like me.

Thanks and God bless! biggrin.gif

The interval of the timer control is set at milliseconds, so 1000 = 1 second smile.gif
