Andy,

MIDAT500.VBX allows a VB programmer to obtain almost any time or date value
that is needed without using the FORMAT(NOW) function.  Having the values as
properties makes it much faster than FORMAT(NOW).  Sample program MICOMP.EXE
demonstrates the difference.  Sample program MIVB.EXE shows the values that
are available and allows changing the options for formatting and the timer.
There is also the code behind the two sample programs.  
It also works as a timer that is more accurate than the VB timer.
