chronometer in access

[aertla]

Hi All,



I want to make a chronometer in access (with 1 hondreth of a second)
When I use the timer of the form, it will stop counting everytime I hit a button or I want to change the value of textbox.

--> So the timer has a low priority.

Is there another way to implement a chonometer in access. (Maybe something with threads, activex...

Thanks in advance

Lars

have you tried putting it in its own form - like a pop up form.. ??

No, I didn't tried that yet... But I've tried the activeX and it got the same problem as when I use the timer form.

I see at this moment 2 possibilities:
the sollution that you give me could be answer or I could use an external oscillator and every 10 ms it will generate an interrupt in my VBA code.
For the application I'm allready using the serial port of my computer so I think It could work...
I just need to try both and see what's the best sollution...

Thanks for the tip.

Best regards,

Lars
