That the message was sent to appear with the message. Or have the current time appear in the top of the chat window. Any help would be great. | | | |

strTimeRightNow = time 'the variable will contain the time for that moment, it's the same with date and who knows what other ones there are :)

Text1.Text = DateTime.Time
is just like saying
Text1.Text = Time
However, typing DateTime out is useful in that it shows you all the different methods and properties it supports. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 UGN's Resident Homo | | UGN's Resident Homo Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 599 | humm, i didn't know that, saves me some typing next time. thanks

Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
Format(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")
Format(12.4212, "Currency") | | |
