RE: Timestamps

Thank you,  I could not remember micro as 1 millionth.  Drew a blank and
went with nano which is a billionth, right.  Boy does this bring back
memories..8>)
  

Have a great Thanksgiving,

Timestamps don't go to nanoseconds (1e-9), only to microseconds (1e-6).

Oh, and I did once find a bindable API that purported to generate them
to the millisecond, but I couldn't get it to work, and went with DB
field approach.  I don't recall the details, as it was several years
ago.

Cheers,

Martin.
