[AccessD] Time in milliseconds

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 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
