You can also use the formulas directly into the cell:

=Date()
for Just the date

=Now()
for Date and time

and

=Now()-Date()
for just the time

From now on - Do NOT put your question in the subject line. Put a meaningful
subject line such as "sytem time" and ask your question in the BODY of the
message.

Sub gettime()
MsgBox Time
End Sub

I suggest that we act politely, and instead of giving orders we orientate
people.

:-) Have a nice day!

We have been doing that in MANY posts and yet the problem persists. Those
that insist will probably not get much in the way of answers.

Depends on what you are looking for as the system time.
VBA time functions Now, Time include truncated seconds.
The VBA timer function about the same though it differs on PC and MAC
PC version really only attempts to show seconds. (on a PC it show .0 or .5 seconds).

The Excel NOW Worksheet Function is accurate to 10ms.

For a comparison of the Date and Time worksheet functions to the
VBA functions (I am using Excel 2000) see
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...htm#comparison

If you are interested in timing something see
