Find Access DB Slowdowns Using the Timer Function

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to use the Timer function in VBA to measure the performance of your database code with millisecond precision. You will learn how to identify which parts of your code are causing slowdowns, use the Sleep function to simulate delays, compare timing methods using DateDiff versus Timer, and display results in a status box to help troubleshoot and optimize event performance in your Access applications.
