Rick,

Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of any issues with it until now.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Using the Timer function can present problems every now and then. Here is a
link in which someone pointed out what they thought was a bug in using the
Timer function and, if you scroll down, you will see a reply which explains
some of the problems in using the Timer function and offers a much more
reliable, although not completely perfect (note the 49.7 day roll-over),
alternative method.

Hi,

You could use the 'timer' function in vb which measures elapsed time and
providing you not using a Mac it will return the fractional part of a
second.

Start = Timer
For x = 1 To 10000000: Next
elapsedtime = Timer - Start

Excel's Now() function has a resolution down to hh:mm:ss.00 where the VBA
Now
function only has hh:mm:ss. I need the accuracy of the excel now
function in
a macro but

application.worksheetfunction.now

does not work. My workaround at this point is referencing a cell with
"=now()" in it, but before I reference it I have to use
application.calculate
so it updates. Is there a better way to do this?
