Hi James,

Probably the easiest way is to create a text box for date and a text box for time if you want that shown also. In the Control Source property for the text boxes put "=Now()" without the double quote marks. Then in the Format property for each text box, select the desired Date or Time format from the list. Be aware, that Access uses the Windows Regional settings for these date and time displays so if the end user has different formats for their dates and times, the displayed date and time will look different than yours.

HTH,
