Displaying System Time and Date
I need to create a bar that will appear on the bottom of the screen that will display a user defined ID number, time of the system clock, time since a physiology program begins recording (the manufacturer will help me with this), and the date. I know QBasic but am new to Visual Basic 6.0.
I have created the input form and a form to display a bar. I am not sure how to display the clocks and date on the bar. Any advice would be appreciated.

JimmieToo,
I am having difficulty applying the above. I ran the vbasic wizard to create an application and this created a statusbar with three panels: "status", date, and time. If I right click on the statusbar I get a properties menu. I can't change the value in ToolTip or Text to show "User ID: "& Text1.Text as it shows just that, these words witht the quotes and everything. If I try to add the statements you wrote out to the code itself, the program does not recognize them. Newbie as I am, I know I am doing something wrong here. I'd appreciate a bit more help.

I got it now by using Labels instead of the StatusBar.
