how many milliseconds in 1 second ?

[huddy]

1,000 milliseconds makes up one second.

Edit : How is VB saying it's 96?

[rokin blenda]

the milli prefix means 10^-3, so 1 second = 1000 milliseconds

[Max Veteran]

Milli means 1000.

[Antaris Veteran]

'f' when used in a style string for the Format(...) function referes to fixed numerical value, not a milli second, you want to pull that value out yourself (from the time), and calulate the milli seconds manually.

Milli means 1000.

Wrong. 10^-3 (To the power of -3)

Look at the table. Yes, it is 10^-3, but Milli indicates 'Thou'.

10−3  milli  m  Thousandth  0.001

Take a closer look yourself. "Milli" means thousandth (with "kilo" meaning thousand). The "Thou" part is irrelevant in this case as it isn't a root element of the words in question...

1:      Enc1.Text = Format(Now, "ff")
        If Enc1.Text = 96 Then Exit Sub Else GoTo 1

The maximum value which i reached to exit sub is 96

if "ff" is not a millisecond, so what is it ?

F Displays fractions of seconds. For example ff will display hundredths of seconds, whereas ffff will display ten-thousandths of seconds. You may use up to seven f symbols in your user-defined format. Use %f if this is the only character in your user-defined numeric format.

One thousandth of a metre. Yes, you just proved it yourself.

I take Physics and we have to deal with these conversions everyday. It defines whether you get a mark or not in any question, and every mark counts...
