Hi Norm,
if you double click the Clock component it refreshes to the current time.
You could also do a search and find relevant discussions (even with practically the same title)

Thanks Pieter... do you know of anyway to make the date and time actually be dynamic?  That is, I want them to always be current, like a "Today" or "Now" function.

If you mean the components from Params>Input tab, I'm sorry - no I don't.

Does this code that David posted a screen capture in the discussion Pieter posted a link to not work dynamically enough?

Or are you wanting some thing that changes the time only when an event/calcuation in the code happens?

That worked Matt... Awesome!  Thanks for digging that up.  I searched the discussion for this but for some reason just could not find it.
