Are you asking if you can put a, for lack of better description, clock on your form? If so, create a label on your form and type clock in it. Then set your forms's OnTimer event to

me.label1.caption = Time()
me.refresh

in the TimerInterval
1000

Make sure in the OnClose event of your form stops the timer.

me.timerinterval = 0

This sets the TimerInterval and immediately populates the textbox until the timer function cranks up:

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Me.TimerInterval = 1000
 Me.txtDateTime = Now
End Sub

This populates the textbox every second:

Private Sub Form_Timer()
 Me.txtDateTime = Now
End Sub

You can lock the textbox if you like, but anyone messing with it will find that the correct date/time reappears every second anyway!

And the TimerInterval does not have to be set to zero on closing the form! It stops automatically when the form closes.
