I have seen here many versions of Date picker to insert selected date in a form. Are there any Time pickers? I made a form with combo boxes to select hour, minute, AM/PM and then format selections . It does work but, I was hoping someone here had a better way to select time. This is for an accident form which asks for time of accident. Thank-you

Hi

You can use the MS Date/Time Picker and configure to a time picker using the control properties. The trouble is that this is an activeX control which can pose some deployment issues.

You can select the Date/Time picker from the list of ActiveX controls on the forms desing menu.

I was trying to stay away from ActiveX controls because of the issues you mentioned. But it looks real nice and works with less clicks than combo boxes so I am going to try and use it. Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

There is an alternative article that still has the clicks that you mentioned with combo boxes, but it uses command buttons and text boxes to get a scrolling effect:

Add clock control functionality to a form in Access

Hope this helps,
