[AccessD] Time in milliseconds

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
