Problems with the Format function

[Comreak]

I know this is a noob question but here goes:

Here is a snippit of code:

millsec = millsec + 1


lblMilli.Text = millsec


lblSeconds.Text = Format(millsec / 1000, "##")

This code is inside a timer control with an interval of 1. As you can see, I'm trying to convert milliseconds to seconds by dividing
millsec (which represents the number of milliseconds which have gone by) by 1000. I then try to format this number to only have two digits using the format function. Instead of having the seconds field go up one every 1000 millisecond it goes up one every 500 milliseconds. I get rid of the formating and everything works (with all the decimal places). I'm using an integer data type for millsec. I hope this isn't too much. Any help appreciated.

Why not just set the timer .Interval to 1000, to make it tick over every second?

I'm a moron, always trying to do everything the hard way. Thanks, i'll try that.

Moron = Someone who comes to the forum asking for help making a virus.

Newbie = Someone who comes to the forum asking how to format milliseconds in a timer when there's an easier way.

newbie doesn't necessarily equal moron.

I suppose I'd rather be a newbie instead of a moron. I origonally wanted to show the passage of milliseconds, not just seconds. I still need a way to format milliseconds.

Dim millSec As Integer
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

millSec = millSec + 1

Text1.Text = Format(millSec / 1000, ".###")
End Sub
u have 2 change the format which i have given u
best of luck
b bye

lblSeconds.Text = Format(MilliSecs / 1000, "0.00#")

You mean like that?
