btn_Click event still happens after clicking

[Ron]

Hello,

I have a button click event that opens two forms from a
main form which has a timer on it. After the two forms
get opened, I perform some procedures with them then close
these two forms down. Then the button on the main form re-
clicks itself and the two forms open up again. How can I
prevent this from happening? Here is the code for the
button on the main form:

Private Sub btnManual_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnManual.Click
Static i As Integer
Console.WriteLine("frmMain btnManual i is " & i.ToString)
If i < 1 Then
Console.WriteLine("starting forms from btnManual " &
i.ToString)
frm1a = New frm1
frm1a.Show()
frm2a = New frm2
frm2a.Show()
End If
i += 1
If i > 3 Then i = 0
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
...stuff
End Sub

Is there something in the Timer or btn_Click arguments
that is causing the button to re-click itself?

Thanks,
Ron

set the enabled property of the timer to false on the form's closing

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I was already doing
that. Turns out that my problem was/is that I am using
SendKeys to click off a System level error dialog box that
comes up after I finish running a DTS Package routine from
the VB app. I forgot about my SendKeys call - hokey way
to turn off the error message but it was all I could come
up with. It seems that VB2003 doesn't not do real well
with the DTS packages - probably because the DTS package
is based on COM. I think this problem gets fixed in
VB2005 since they have the Bulk Sql Class for bulk reading
data to Sql Server.

Anyone know if VS2005 is out in production yet?
