The Time() function will return the time in this way: HH:MM:SS. You'll give the function either 12 or 24 specifying whether you want the time back in the 12 or 24 hour system: Example: Print Time(24) Peter Horsb�ll M�ller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 5260 Odense S.

I have to run it by night because it will keep my computer busy for too long. I would like to know how long it takes for the computer to process a certain amount of data. I thought about printing the computer clock time at start and at the end of the process in the message window. Is there a way via MB to read the computer clock and put the actual time into a string variable? Thank you. Simon
