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. missinglinq wrote: 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! -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

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! -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

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" Linq -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000 Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

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 "missinglinq via AccessMonster.com" wrote: 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 -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!
