Using a timer.

[wilton]

I reading about the ms timer control and it says the longest possible interval is a little over 64 seconds. Does anyone know of a timer that works just a little longer?

There are many ways of implementing this, using a 'static' counter in the timer event or even using a WinAPI timer - you can download some sample code and read up on extended timers from :

or you can check the VB KnowledgeBase article at :
