Please, i am writting a program and i want the program to run every 3 hours, now when i try to put 10800000ms which is equivalent to 3 hours in the interval property of the timer, i get an error message that say.. "Invalid Property Value", Is it that it cant take much like that, or what do i do?

I have gotten the answer... i actually thought about it and this is the code..
All these should be in the form load event.
dim counter as integer
dim K as integer
counter= 0
k = (60 * 60) *3 // which is the 3 hours..Then these should be dropped in the timer event.
if counter < K then
counter= counter +1
else
// insert what you want to repeat every 3 hours here.
counter=0 // set the counter back to 0
end if
I hope this helps others.. Be a part of the DaniWeb community
