I'm new to Java and I am trying to populate one jdbTextField with date/time info in the lost focus event of another, but its not working. Below is my code. void jdbTextField48_focusLost(FocusEvent e) { SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"); String s4 = format.format(new java.util.Date()); JdbTextField dStmp = new JdbTextField(s4); this.jdbTextField68 = dStmp;} The end result is supposed to update a date/time field in the associated database with Field68. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! More>>

I guess I'll have to answer it myself...glad this wasn't urgent

Here's the solution:

void jdbTextField11_focusLost(FocusEvent e) {

Date now= new Date();

this.jdbTextField68.setText
(DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT,

DateFormat.LONG).format(now));

this.jdbTextField68.repaint();

}

The setText accepts the new value and the repaint displays

the new value on the Frame.
