I am currently writing a Poker Clock program in VB 2008. I have got everything working up until I try and type this (on a button)

Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 120000
End Sub
End Class

120000 being 2 minutes, I am getting an error at the bottom Name 'Timer1 is not declared' but i can use the same (Timer1.Interval = 120000) somewhere else but not on the button

Help please i am confused

Is Timer1 the member of Current Form? Have you check it?

Also Where you declared Timer1?

Private WithEvents timer1 As System.Windows.Forms.Timer

Thank you for everyones help, I figured from this message

That the item has to be on the same form, and anyway, that will be wrong, but i am not bothered anyway, so thank you
