Button caption won't update
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 |

Button caption won't update
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*") Mark Stephens;237281 Wrote: 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).

Button caption won't update
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 "Simon Lloyd" wrote in message ...
