Hi, i have the following code that relates to a simple label:

CODE
Label1.Text = DateAdd("n", 2, DateAdd("h", 0, Trim(Format(Now, "HH:mm"))))


It displays the current time 2 minutes ahead of time, but even though i have specified the time format as Hours and Minutes, it still displays the 'seconds' on the Form Label.

Is there anyway i can make it only show the time in Hours and Minutes?

Thanks,
Julian

If this is for vb6 then
VB

Label1.Caption=Format(DateAdd("n", 2, Now), "HH:mm")

else if its vb.net (which is suggested by using .text on a label)
VB

Label1.Text=   DateAdd(DateInterval.Minute, 2, Now).ToString("HH:MM")

Ah, perfect.

It was for 2005, but works a treat. Although needed to change the 'MM' to 'mm' (lowercase).
