Hi Albert,

The code below should give you timestamp with milliseconds and it's independent of any date/time settings.

d_updated = TRANSFORM(TTOC(DATETIME(),1), "@R XXXX-XX-XX XX:XX:XX") + STR(SECONDS()%1,4,3)

>d_updated = datetime() works from the ide and from the exe, but than i have an timestamp without

>I need the milliseconds because the applications is heavily used (400-500 parallel onlineusers)
