>>Since the time is stored on 4 bytes in a datetime field, the precision is about 0.00002 seconds (better than 1/1000th). The problem is that there's no built-in FoxPro function to extract the time from a datetime field.

This way youl have the time in HH:MM:SS format. Jacques Mainguy was asking how he can have the time with a precision of 1/1000th.

There's no buil-in FoxPro function to get the real time value stored in a datetime field :(
