You could also use the SetTimer and KillTimer API's.<br />
Or the MultiMedia DLL.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you would rather go those routes and I can you hellp with code there also.

I have an application that runs a command or opens a dialog at a user specified interval. &nbsp;I am using the timer to set the interval. &nbsp;When I attempt to set the timer's interval above 64 seconds, I get an error &quot;Invalid Property Value.&quot; &nbsp;I thought about using the sleep and tried it. &nbsp;It successfully works for the interval part, but if I try to do anything else in the application while sleep is running, it won't let me do anything. &nbsp;As soon as the interval has played out, then it executes the commands I put in while &quot;Sleep&quot; was running. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there a way of increasing the Timer interval above 64 seconds without locking up the application?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I have an application that runs a command or opens a dialog at a user specified interval.  I am using the timer to set the interval.  When I attempt to set the timer's interval above 64 seconds, I get an error "Invalid Property Value."  I thought about using the sleep and tried it.  It successfully works for the interval part, but if I try to do anything else in the application while sleep is running, it won't let me do anything.  As soon as the interval has played out, then it executes the commands I put in while "Sleep" was running.

Pause/Wait without Locking up application

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
