  Leshay,

  My whole point is that you don't need to drag a timer on. And I'm glad you got it!

  It's pretty simple. I'd declare your timer as a member variable.

  Protected Friend WithEvents WBTimer as As New System.Windows.Forms.Timer

  Then when you want to initialize it, remember that its time unit is milliseconds. For a one minute interval:

  Wbtimer.Interval = 60*1000

  Wbtimer.enable= true

  WBtimer.start()

  But you aren't finished yet.......

  You need an event handler which is the business end of the timer:

  Private Sub WBTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles WBTimer.Tick

  ' Do your stuff here

  End Sub

  Enjoy !
