Please advise.

    DsServerTimeUPD.tblServerTime.Clear()
    taServerTimeUPD.Connection.ConnectionString += ";Password=" & vrSAPWD
    Me.taServerTimeUPD.Fill(Me.DsServerTimeUPD.tblServerTime)
    Dim drUpdServerTime As DataRow
    drUpdServerTime = DsServerTimeUPD.tblServerTime.Rows(0)
    drUpdServerTime.BeginEdit()
    drUpdServerTime.Item("ServerTime") = Now()
    drUpdServerTime.EndEdit()
    taServerTimeUPD.Update(DsServerTimeUPD.tblServerTime)

One of the strangest requirements that I have read in recent times.

Insufficient information.
Do you have another queries running over the same table?
How your code open and closes connections?

Please, read comments to the question. You did not provide enough information about issue and the reason you want to update ServerTime field every second. Nevertheless...

You really don't need this! Believe me!

To get SQL server time, see: Date and Time Data Types and Functions (Transact-SQL)[^].

Check this:

SQL

SELECT GETDATE(), SYSDATETIME(), SYSUTCDATETIME(), GETUTCDATE()
