[AccessD] Time in milliseconds

You pasted the code into a module instead of a class?  Or you saved the
class code to a name other than clsTimer.

  John:

  That looks real good.  The time kind of got away from me so if I don't get
a reply right away I can go with what I've got.  But this would be better.

  I'm getting a compile error on

  Dim mclsTimer As clsTimer

  User defined type not defined.

  What have I left out?

  Best,

  Rocky

    Rocky,

    Below is a modification to the TestTimer to time your form opening /
closing 10 times.  Obviously replace the form name(s) with your own.

    Option Compare Database
    Option Explicit
    Dim mclsTimer As clsTimer

    Function TestTimer()
    Dim intLoopCnt As Integer
    Set mclsTimer = New clsTimer
        For intLoopCnt = 1 To 10
            DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_MoviesTab"
            DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_MoviesTab"
        Next intLoopCnt
        MsgBox mclsTimer.EndTimer & " ms elapsed time - Hit any key to
continue", , "TIMER TEST 1"
        mclsTimer.StartTimer
        For intLoopCnt = 1 To 10
            DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_MoviesTab"
            DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_MoviesTab"
        Next intLoopCnt
        MsgBox mclsTimer.EndTimer & " ms elapsed time - Hit any key to
continue", , "TIMER TEST 1"
        Set mclsTimer = Nothing
    End Function

      John:

      Will it work across forms?

      I'm demonstrating your Just-In-Time forms at the AUGSD tonight and
since it's a single user box the difference in opening time is hard to see,
even though it's a factor of 2-4.

      I think I need to start my timing from the Main Menu Click event that
opens the form with the sub-forms in it, as some of the processing of
loading the sub-form's recordsets goes on even before the called form's
OnOpen event.

      Best,

      Rocky

        Rocky,

        Here is the class I use for timing things such as the opening of
forms and such, with a timer test function you can place in a module to play
around with the class.  Dead simple to use.

        The nice thing about using a class is that you can have as many
instances as you need timing various stuff since the variable tracking
elapsed time is private to the class instance.

        Option Compare Database
        Option Explicit
        Dim mclsTimer As clsTimer

        Function TestTimer()
        Set mclsTimer = New clsTimer
            MsgBox "Hit any key to continue", , "TIMER TEST 1"
            MsgBox mclsTimer.EndTimer & " ms elapsed time - Hit any key to
continue", , "TIMER TEST 1"
            MsgBox mclsTimer.EndTimer & " ms total elapsed time - Hit any
key to continue", , "TIMER TEST 2"
            mclsTimer.StartTimer
            MsgBox "Hit any key to continue", , "TIMER TEST 3"
            MsgBox mclsTimer.EndTimer() & " ms elapsed time", , "TIMER
TEST3"
            Set mclsTimer = Nothing
        End Function

          Dear List:

          Is it possible to access/store/display the time in increments
smaller than seconds.  I need to time something in fractions of a second.

          MTIA

          Rocky
