In PERL I would wrap my main program in a perpetual lool and use the wait
command to determain how often I would want to loop through a program. I see
the function in VBA but am not sure where to put it in this event driven
methodology.

I want to display the the length of an event every minute.
 
In Access, forms have a Timer event that is controlled by a form property
Timer Interval. The timer interval is expressed in milliseconds, so to wait
1 second you set it at 1000.

It does not intefer with the operation of the form. It only fires on the
interval. What you do is determined by the code in the Timer event

If that is not what you are looking for, post back with more detail. There
is another way.
 
Thanks This will work. I forgot all about it. I played with it about a
month ago. It will work perfect.
