TimerInterval Property

See Also         Example         Applies To

You can use the TimerInterval property to specify the interval, in milliseconds, between Timer events on a form.

Setting

The TimerInterval property setting is a Long Integer value between 0 and 2,147,483,647.

You can set this property by using the form's property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.

Note   When using Visual Basic, you set the TimerInterval property in the form's Load event.

Remarks

To run Visual Basic code at intervals specified by the TimerInterval property, put the code in the form's Timer event procedure. For example, to requery records every 30 seconds, put the code to requery the records in the form's Timer event procedure, and then set the TimerInterval property to 30000.
