Timer Date Sub ExampleTimer Dim lSec As Long,lMin As Long,lHour As Long lSec = Timer MsgBox lSec, 0, "Seconds since midnight" lMin = lSec / 60 lSec = lSec Mod 60 lHour = lMin / 60 lMin = lMin Mod 60 MsgBox Right("00" & lHour , 2) & ":"& Right("00" & lMin , 2) & ":" & Right("00" & lSec , 2), 0, "The time is" End Sub The Timer function measures time in seconds. To measure time in milliseconds use the Timer service available in the ScriptForge library.
