Maintaining current date -

I know you can get the current date by using:

Text1.Text = Date

However, I'm going to be using this to automatically place the date in a Invoice form. This form may be left running on the computer over night and so I want to be able to have the date automatically roll over to the next day at midnight. I could do this using a Timer, but then I would have to have the timer constantly updating the date, and I don't want that. Is there any way to have VB just passively monitor the date, or have it tap into some API that would signal VB when the date has changed? Thanks.
