Hi,

Delare One Variable i
Place One Timer.

Set Interval as 60,000(60 Sec ie 1 min)

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
i = i + 1
if i=60 then 'One Hour Reached
'Place Your Code here
end if
End Sub

ok, both of those are ok, however I would just like to add that setting the inteval to 1000 is very close to one second, but it is not exactly the same. When you get in to the area of one hour, your time may be inaccurate to a degree that you are not satisfied with. However, it may be fine for your purposes.

To Jacamar:
---------------------------------------
Using settimer, you can choose the delay. You could choose
even 1 hour, if you like
(simply multiply milliseconds = 1 h = 1000* 60*60= 3600000)
as it is a long value, it can hold 3.600.000...

ok, i know you can do that........however, those timers are not exact time. Try it. Compare it to your computer's time. The timer in VB runs about 10 seconds per hour slower than the timer on your machine.
