When I scan a badge number into txtbox1 I would like txtbox2 to be
datestamped. How do I make txtbox2 show the date and time when txtbox1
is changed?

What program or programming language are you using?

Jstm,

I see by your other questions that you are using VB6.

The Textbox can respond to a Change event. This runs whenever the data
in the textbox is changed.

Double-click on the textbox on your form design. A code window will
appear. If it is not already selected, choose Change from the
right-hand dropdown. The code will look like this:

Private Sub txtbox1_Change()

    txtbox2 = Now()

End Sub

Now is a built in function that returns the current date and time.

Thanks.

I think you'll need to suppky more information about your software
development system before you can get specific help.

Generically, it should be simple.
Presumably, there is a mechanism for triggering an event of some sort
when the value of the first field changes.  Trap that event and within
the handler, put the current system time into the second field.
