Thank you for your response Lew.

I believe I need the Precision of Ticks (1/18.21 of Seconds), as the

code involved comes from MS C 5.1, and I am trying to emulate its action

entirely in VFP 5.0. Seconds() which resets to zero every midnight, is

claimed to have a resolution of 1 millisecond, except in NT where the

claimed resolution is 10ms. The question of the kluging of OOP's, and

the separation by processes have still to be faced. Seconds() seems to

return a number 0 to 86400, but no separate flag like _bios_timeof

day() to indicate a rollover at midnight. I fear if retval = 0 or the

like might not be failsafe, etc.
