I was able to achieve that without the date time function.I made it as simple as i could do. But I am having a problem on deployment (publishing)of the program, to beable to run on any system, other than the one I developed with. when I tried to publish,it did publish, but if I try to access the forms that contains a link to the database, I keep getting error, "Microsoft ...... 12.0 or 4.0 (when I saved in 2002 - 2003 format), not installed on local machine. I want to send you the folder that contains the project, but can't, as I cant see where to attach files here.
