FormatDateTime(Time(), 3), it just keep appearing as 1/1/1900 3:30 pm.....

Is this a row that you want to see when inserted or updated? if it is 
inserted only you can set a default value in that field as the time so 
that you dont need to pass it in, it will be there whenever you insert 
into that row!

Is the db SQL Server?  If so, there is no data type for time values only, 
just datetime.  So if you just add the time, you get the default date 
too.  Same goes if you try to just add the date, you get default time 
(midnight) too.

You may ues getdate() function:
insert into mytable (timefieldname)
values(getdate())
if you execute this through an asp page, now() function and single quotes 
may be used:
sql="insert into mytalbe(timefieldname) values ('" & now() & "')"
