determining system time

Hi All,

I want to determine the system time and display it in a text box. I am using
Time() function for this.

Time() function returns time in " hh:min:sec" format.

I need the result only in "hh:mm" format. Is any other function available
for this?
How can i achieve this?

Thanks

Use the Format function to format it for display purposes however you want.

Text1.Text = Format$(Time,"hh:mm")
