Time Picker

I have read hundreds of posts on this forum and I still can't figure it out.

I have a continuous form in which the first field is a time field set by
default to Now()
I would like the users to be able to edit this time easily with a date and
time picker. The main concern is to be able to edit the time without having
to type on a keyboard if possible.
I found something very close the Graphitti Date control version 2.0. It
allows to modify the time without any key strokes. However I cannot link this
control to update a table field (there is no control soource property).
The microsoft date & time picker control (version 6.0) offers good support
for date picking but less for time picking. My priority is the time picker.

Does anyone know if there is anything out there for my need. Am I mis-using
the Graphitti control?

Time entry in Access has never been good or easy.

You could use an unbound textbox with a few buttons. Then write the value
into the actual date field when saved.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it is a good idea.
Now the time field is in a continuous form. Will it be a problem as number of
records increase, so will the number of buttons on the form.. Would it make
the database too heavy / slow after a while?

Thanks
