memory used

Is there a way to find out how much memory a VB project uses when it is executed? (and the time taken for certain commands without using the timer control to execute as well?)

Hi,
which system do U use? In windows nt U can use task manager to see the usage of memory.
As for the time taken by certain oprations... While writing and testing programs U can think of something like that

sub ABC
dim StartTime as Date
dim EndTime as Date

StartTime = Now

'here are all the instructions U want to check their time

EndTime = Now
MsgBox "Start time: " & StartTime & vbCrLf & _
"End time: " & EndTime & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
EndTime - StartTime

end sub

With Querryperformance you can determine the time it takes to execute something, with error diffusion upto 1 nanosecond.

Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceCounter Lib "kernel32" (lpPerformanceCount As Currency) As Long
Private Declare Function QueryPerformanceFrequency Lib "kernel32" (lpFrequency As Currency) As Long

Dim Start as currency, Finish as currency, Freq as currency

  QueryPerformanceCounter Start
  'your code you want to performance check
  QueryPerformanceCounter Finish
  QueryPerformanceFrequency Freq
  Msgbox CDbl(Finish - Start) * CDbl(Freq)*1000) & "microseconds"
