>>To surpress the date you use the TTOT() function to get then time out of the datetime value. Y0u would need to put code in the events of the textbox, in the refresh() you could put ...

>>This.Value = TTOT(SomeTableAlias.DatetimeField)

>>In the LostFocus() you could put ...

>>REPLACE SomeTbaleAlias.DatetimeField WITH TRANSFORM(YEAR(DATE())) + "/" + TRANSFORM(MONTH(DATE())) + "/" + TRANSFORM(DAY(DATE())) + " " + This.Value
