Mikeehamm,

There isn't a system time/Date box that you can use in CVI but you can use a string box and sprintf to create your own system date/time display.  Use the GetSystemTime, and GetSystemDate functions to get the necessary data and you can concatanate the data into a string.  Run these functions in a separate thread from your main application and you can have it update at whatever time interval you wish.
