Hi Jmedved

Thanks for the reply, I will have a look at your sample and see if I can implement it into my project..

I have another question, same project but another part of it.. I have a tabcontrol with 7 tabsheets. Each tab contains different information for display. Now the user wants the tabpages to change automatically every 30 seconds. The hard part is they want to specify the order in which they will be displayed, so I thought of a form with 7 Comboboxes named CBDisplay1 to CBDisplay7. Each Combobox will contain the name of the tab. Unfortuantly I am not sure how to get my timer to start on CBDisplay1, display the selected tab, then after 30 seconds look at CBDisplay2 and so on, then start back at cbdisplay1 after all other CBDisplay comboboxes have been used.

Cheers
