Hi Simon,

Take a look at the Timer( ) function in the MB manual and you'll find:

*Purpose
*
Returns the number of elapsed seconds.

*Syntax*

Timer( )

*Return Value*

Integer

*Description*

The Timer( ) function returns the number of seconds that have elapsed since Midnight, January 1, 1970. By calling the Timer( ) function before and after a particular operation, you can time how long the operation took (in seconds).

*Example  *

Declare Sub Ubi

Dim  start, elapsed As Integer

start = Timer()
Call Ubi
elapsed = Timer() - start

'
' elapsed now contains the number of seconds
' that it took to execute the procedure Ubi '


Regards,
Jes�s

Hi,

           I have a MB application that computes a lot of data.  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
