    Ontime procedures

    I am currently recalculating my application every "00:00:01" (1 second) Using the Ontime Procedure. How can I increase this to quarter seconds. My Ontime function doesnt seem to allow sub 1 second updates. Any ideas??? Tnxs

    Hello IronMouse,

    The OnTime procedure only counts in seconds. To get sub seconds (like milliseconds) you would have to use the API SetTimer function. This is more complicated than using OnTime. You can use Google to find plenty of examples and decide for yourself if this is an avenue you would like to take.
    Sincerely,

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Re: Ontime procedures

    see:
    http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm

    concentrate on the WindowsTimers (APIs)
    note they work a bit different that OnTime.
    Procedures scheduled with Ontime need to reschedule themselves

    With SetTimer you set it once, and it will run every x milliseconds
    and keep running until Killed.

    Just make sure you kill it before closing the workbook or quitting
    excel. Also be sure to include some form of errorhandling.
    else you're in for some crashes...
