Time intervals below 1 second.
 

Hi folks, help please with Excel2000

I would like to repeat a macro at say half second
intervals. Using "Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue
("00.00.01"))" seems to limit me to one second. Whats the
solution please?

TIA. derek

Time intervals below 1 second.
 

Use the system's high-resolution timer.

The full code with class can be found in John Green's "Excel 2000 VBA", page
336.

Cheers,
FK

I would maintain my own form of time ticks. So each interval represented,
say, a 100th of a second.
Special functions would be needed to convert this back to excel/vba time.

Windows API provides some of this functionality for you, in the form of
SYSTEMTIME type:

Interestingly, this other article shows an example of sub-second resolution.
=NOW() in A1, format A1 as "hh:mm:ss.00"
