when the coversion takes place an exception error is thrown. maybe it isn't possible to convert a long to an int. But that is what the constructor takes and the help says that time is a good value to pass in.

'Int' will return a floating point number. It's typically get used to remove the fractional part of a number. You may want to use 'CInt' instead which will perform a type conversion. Note that this conversion will fail if 'Ticks'' value cannot be represented in an 'Integer'.
