[dba-Tech] Need for Timer event in Word

Hi Susan,


This is a class module for timing events (named clsStopWatch):
---------------------------------------------------------------
Private MlngStart As Long
Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Public Sub StartTimer()

    MlngStart = GetTickCount
    
End Sub

Public Function EndTimer() As Long

    EndTimer = (GetTickCount - MlngStart)
    
End Function
---------------------------------------------------------------


This is how it's used in a procedure:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Private MstwStopWatch As clsStopWatch

Private Sub RecordDeltaMilliseconds(stgStartStop As String, stgTestName As
String)

    Dim stg As String
    
    Select Case stgStartStop
        Case "Start"
        
            Set MstwStopWatch = New clsStopWatch
            MstwStopWatch.StartTimer
             
        Case "Stop"
        
            stg = "INSERT INTO tblTimingData ( TestName, MilliSeconds )" _
                & " VALUES ('" & stgTestName & "', " &
MstwStopWatch.EndTimer & ")"
            DoCmd.SetWarnings False
            DoCmd.RunSQL stg
            DoCmd.SetWarnings True

    End Select
 
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------

Good Luck!
Dan

Subject: [dba-Tech] Need for Timer event in Word

I've been asked to provide a generic function in Word that will play a 
specific sound at intervals. Initially I thought, no big deal, but I was 
thinking in Access terms. Word has no Timer event, so I'm wondering now how 
to approach this problem. Any ideas?
