Milliseconds display

[Brian Kristensen]

Could someone enlighten me please.
I am trying to write a routine which will make a note of how long a query takes to run. My problem is that I cannot find any reference to reading the current time including milliseconds.
e.g. 3:34:18.245

All the date/time functions only seem to go down to seconds. I have played around with the timer function but I can't believe there isn't a better way.

Thanks.

the GetSystemTime API fills a SYSTEMTIME structure that has a Milliseconds field.

Try API function : GetTickCount

You can also use the Timer function, eg.
Dim start as double
start = Timer
' do what you want
Msgbox Timer - start

AFAIK Timer does not return Milliseconds. Am I wrong?

Oopsie guess it's too early to think...

Timer Function

Returns a Single representing the number of seconds elapsed since midnight.

Syntax

Timer

Remarks

In Microsoft Windows the Timer function returns fractional portions of a second.




I understood it was to see how long a query takes to execute, I always use Timer for that... but I you're right...
