this is a forms/forms programming question, really. Assuming you have
a calculated control, txtCurrentDowntime and another date/time field,
txtTimeStampDown, you could use DateDiff to get the difference in
times in any increment you want, Then you'd have to use the OnTimer
event of the form to requery the control so that the value updated.
