wait or pause in script

[Jurgen Oerlemans]

Hello, I am kind of new into VB and trying to make a program that checks how
old a log file is and if it is too old --> send a sms to me so I can can
take action.
Problem is not too difficult I think:
I made a a script to chck how old (in minutes) the logfile is. After that I
want to wait 15 minutes before I check again. So how do I perform that
check? It is always 15 minutes, so that can be hardcoded. ot too diffcult I
think...

Any help would be much appreciated,

You should be able to use a standard timer object, it just needs a little
boost
with a sub, and a couple of variables to make it extend into minutes. Here
is
an example that should work in your situation...

' Add Timer1 to form
' .Interval=60000 (this can be set to 1000 to count seconds instead)
' .Enabled=False
'Add public variables
' Public CurrentMinute As Single
' Public TimeLimit As Single
'
' Activate timer to begin counting off minutes
'
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
CurrentMinute=CurrentMinute+1
If CurrentMinute=TimeLimit Then
Timer1.Enabled=False
MsgBox "Time's Up": 'put code to execute other code, here
End If
End Sub
'
' Initialize variables
'
Private Sub Form_Load()
CurrentMinute = 0
TimeLimit=15
End Sub
