How do I convert elapsed time since 1904 to mSec.

I'm trying to get a time stamp that is good to a mSecond , that can be put into excel. When converting the seconds from Jan 1904 I've noticed that it only updates every 15msec.

Try converting the time stamp using the "to extended precision float" found on the numeric conversion palette.
