In the general toolbar in vb there is a timer, it looks funny enough like a stop watch double click this it will then be added to your project.
now double click the timer this will open up the form code window and set you up inside the timer routine place your code here.

now go inside private sub form_load () vb will have named the timer 'Timer1' so enter the following code.

Timer1.Interval=5000


Timer1.Enable=true (Sorry forgot this part)

this will give you a timer that will execute the code inside it once every 5secs

hope it helps

Hi...

somebody gave the answer already. All you have to do is insert that in your code.


I dont know how you set-up your Timer to your program:
This is only a sample...
Just modify your program... i hope you'll get the idea.

'***************************************Start
Dim rst As Double
Private Sub Form_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Interval = 5000
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Timer1.Enabled = False
Call Calculate(1, 2)
MsgBox rst
End Sub


Public Function Calculate(A, B) As Double
Calculate = A + B
rst = Calculate
End Function
'***************************************End

GoodLuck
