Setting a timer

[Guest]

How can I set a timer to open a specified form after 5 second ?

Hi,
to make it easy you can use a form's on timer event. Set the timer interval
to 5000. Then in the on timer event add the code to open your form.
If you don't want to see this form then open it in hidden mode, but make
sure you close it after it executes the first timer or it will constantly
reopen the form every 5 seconds.
HTH
Good luck

Hi Luis,

Put something like this in the form's event procedures:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.TimerInterval = 5000
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.TimerInterval = 0
Me.Visible = True
End Sub

Then open the form with DoCmd.OpenForm and set the WindowMode argument
to acHidden.
