There are several problems here    Your assignment is the wrong way round  you re trying to assign a value to DateTime Now instead of Start DateTime Now is a value of type DateTime  not Integer  so the assignment wouldn t work anyway There s no need to have the Start variable anyway  it s doing no good total Text is a property of type String - not DateTime or Integer    Some of these would only show up at execution time unless you have Option Strict on  which you really should    You should use   total Text   DateTime Now ToString         possibly specifying a culture and or format specifier if you want the result in a particular format

Try This      Private Sub Form1 Load ByVal sender As System Object  ByVal e As System EventArgs  Handles MyBase Load         Timer1 Start   End Sub  Private Sub Timer1 Tick ByVal sender As System Object  ByVal e As System EventArgs  Handles Timer1 Tick     Label12 Text   TimeOfDay ToString  quot h mm ss tt quot   End Sub

try  total Text   DateTime Now ToString     or  Dim theDate As DateTime   System DateTime Now total Text   theDate ToString     You declare Start as an Integer  while you are trying to put a DateTime in it  which is not possible
