You would transfer the desired number of Minutes into the Timer Control by setting its TimerInterval Property, keeping in mind that this Property is defined in MilliSeconds, and not Seconds. After the specified Time Interval, Code in the Form's Timer() Event will be executed. To set the Form's Timer for 45 Minutes:

Const conMILLIs_IN_MIN As Long = 60000
 
Me.TimerInterval = (45 * conMILLIs_IN_MIN)
 
'**************************
'To Disable the Timer
'Me.TimerInterval = 0
