At bootup.

It gets the time from the API function GetTickCount, which returns the time since bootup. This little thingie should get you the same values (or very close numbers):

Code: [Select]

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "Kernel32" () As Long

Public Sub Main()
  Dim ticks As Long
  Dim mSecs As Variant
  ticks = GetTickCount()
  mSecs = ThisDrawing.GetVariable("MILLISECS")
  Debug.Print "TickCount: " & ticks
  Debug.Print "Millisecs: " & mSecs
End Sub
