In VBA: time is fractions of a second?
I'm trying to time some intensive calculations in a vba program. I've been using the TIme function but it appears that the best resolution is in integral seconds.

Is there a way to get a timestamp or current time that includes milliseconds or fractions of a secnod in VBA?
NOTE: I can't run the same calc 1000 times in a row and use an average.

Hello TALJr,

I would use SQL Server for this; the datetime data type gives precision to 3 miliseconds...

Regards,

Patrick

What Patrick said, but FYI:

Access stores Dates as Floating Point values. The Integer portion represents the number of Days since Dec 30, 1899. The fractional portion represents the number of seconds since midnight.

Moderator,

Please remove this question. I solved the problem on my own. These answers did not help. I found the solution via google.

Thanks
