Is it possible to implement a timer event to execute a function after given
interval.
 
Sort of but not really. With form code VBScript you cannot call any Win32
API calls, so using a system timer is out. Most ActiveX controls such as any
timers you might have from something like VB6 probably won't work too well
in a form and won't fire a timer elapsed event for you. About the best would
be to loop and check the system time (Now) and compare the current and start
values to derive the interval.
