Hi Simon,

Many, many thanks for that you actually solved two problems in one for
me,
as I thought my button caption wasn't updating but it was I just not
seeing
it due to not asking to se the minutes (as in mm). Seems so obvious now
I
know what it was...that's the good thing about programming, stops you
from
getting glib:)

Thanks again, kind regards, Masrk

Shouldn't this line
Frm_DataEntry.Controls.Item("Btn_CALLBACKDATE").Ca ption
=
Format(dbAlarmTime, "dddd dd mmmm hh:hh")look like this
Frm_DataEntry.Controls.Item("Btn_CALLBACKDATE").Ca ption =
_
Format(dbAlarmTime, "dddd dd mmmm hh:*mm*")

I am running a sub that updates a cell in excel and then in turn
updates
the
caption property of my button to the value in the cell ('AlarmTime',
which
is a number representing a date which is appropriately formatted to
update
the caption:

Frm_DataEntry.Controls.Item("Btn_CALLBACKDATE").Ca ption =
Format(dbAlarmTime, "dddd dd mmmm hh:hh")

I have stepped through all the code and it all works exactly as it
should
except for the last line (the line above that updates the button).

I replaced the number/date variable woith a string value to check my
referencing of the button... again it updated perfectly, so my only
possible
explanation is that the button doesn't like my formatting, but then
I
use it
elsewhere to update the button and increment the time by one hour
(the
subject of my last post) and although there's a bit of a bug in that
it
updates a minute too much, it does update, so I am totally
confounded
as to
what could be the problem! Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance, regards, Mark
