Also just looking at it. You are using Textbox.Value = It should be Textbox.Text. And to convert the time to a string use the Convert.ToString method. This is a c# method. I don't use visual basic and never have so I don't know the syntax for it. But you may have to cast you time to a string I don't know for sure with visual basic. If you are learning you may want to think of learning c#. Alot of programmers have to learn c# a couple of years after visual as it is a better language with more features.
