Frank,
There are 4 timers in VBNet
the window.forms.timer
the system.timers.timer
the threading.thread.timer
and the one you took and most people even do not know that it exist.
I advise you to use the first one, for common forms application that one is
very good to use.
The most easy way to use it is to drag it from your form control toolbox
(not components that is the system) to your form. Than set in the properties
it to enabled, set the duration it has to go in milliseconds, Than in your
code you choose left in the combobox on top the timer1 and than in the right
combobox the click event. Than you are ready to type in the code that than
has to be done.
I hope this helps?

Hi,
I just spend 15 minutes looking for the correct use of dateandtime.timer.
That stupid 'help' from .NET2002 describes the timer function perfectly,
but
when using it you get an error "is a type ....". So some prefix is
necessary, but thats not described in the help page. I miss that a lot in
the help pages.
