use the Sleep function

Works great!  Thank you

My TimeClockF is not populating TimeOut.  I put a sleep timer on it before it closes so employees can see their in and out real quick but it won't show up.  It is, however, populating the TimeClock T.

Does it get refreshed/requeried?

It does get refreshed.  See code below:

Details

Private Sub ClockInBtn_Click()

    TimeIn = Now()
    Me.Refresh
    ClockInBtn.Enabled = False
    Sleep 500
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes

End Sub

Private Sub ClockOutBtn_Click()

    TimeOut = Now()
    Me.Refresh
    Sleep 500
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes
    
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Current()

    If Not IsNull(TimeIn) Then
        ClockInBtn.Enabled = False
    Else
        ClockInBtn.Enabled = True
    End If

End Sub
Copy

If I click clock out with no clock in, then it populates.

Disabling this part lets it populate but the form doesn't close.

DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes

Add a DoEvents

    TimeOut = Now()
    DoEvents
    Me.Refresh
    Sleep 500
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes

PERFECT!
