simple Access form question

I have been looking far and wide but I cannot find the answer to this question.

I want to make a command button that, when pressed, will cause the current date and time to be displayed in a text box. However, I do not want the value in that box to ever change, no matter what happens, so using now() won't really work, because that updates the value every time you open the database. Is there a way to have a static representation of the current date and time entered into a text box by clicking a command button?

I don't understand what you mean. The current date & time will be different every instant. Perhaps you can re-word your requirements.
