>KT is right, you might wan't to consider some other approachs. My problem was fairly simple, just had to amuse the onlookers ( treasury officials in a $250,000 prize draw ) while I found a winner and make them think it was a complicated, big deal. :-) Horses for courses.

The other reason that I recommended using an API call as opposed to using
one of the VFP functions is that to the best of my knowledge there is no
native function that will get you resolution of better than 1 second except
for the timer (no flames please :)

Course, you could always use the timing loop "just for now and come back and
fix it later". yeah. right. :)
