Use the API GetTickCount.This returns
the number of milliseconds after the OS
win95,98,NT started. Divide it by 1000 and you get in seconds. Make your judgement based
on this. For example...
Private Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTickCount" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim lmiliSec As Long
lmiliSec = GetTickCount()
If (lmiliSec\60000) < 3 Then 'less than 3 minutes
MsgBox "Just Started"
Else
MsgBox "started " & (lmiliSec\60000)& " minutes ago"
End If
End sub
