If you used a timer control in VB6 you surely noticed that you can't set the interval to a number higher than 65.535. Here is the code to make a longlasting timer 1. Create 2 labels, lblHours and lblMins 2. Add these variables to the project: Code (Visual Basic): <div class="vb" id="{CB}" style="font-family: monospace;"><ol><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"><span style="color: #b1b100;">Dim</span> intHours, intMinutes <span style="color: #b1b100;">As</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">Integer</span></li></ol></div> 3. Add this code to the timer: Code (Visual Basic): <div class="vb" id="{CB}" style="font-family: monospace;"><ol><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">lblHours.<span style="color: #66cc66;">Caption</span> = intHours</li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">lblMins.<span style="color: #66cc66;">Caption</span> = intMinutes</li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;">intMinutes = intMinutes - <span style="color: #cc66cc;">1</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #b1b100;">If</span> intHours > <span style="color: #cc66cc;">0</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">Then</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #b1b100;">If</span> intMinutes < <span style="color: #cc66cc;">0</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">Then</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> intHours = intHours - <span style="color: #cc66cc;">1</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> intMinutes = <span style="color: #cc66cc;">59</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #b1b100;">End</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">If</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #b1b100;">ElseIf</span> intHours = <span style="color: #cc66cc;">0</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">And</span> intMinutes < <span style="color: #cc66cc;">0</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">Then</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> tmrSecs.<span style="color: #66cc66;">Enabled</span> = <span style="color: #b1b100;">False</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #fff; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #808080;">'code to execute at the end of the timer</span></li><li style="padding: 0 5px; background-color: #f9f9f9; line-height: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef; border-left: 1px solid #999;"> <span style="color: #b1b100;">End</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">If</span></li></ol></div>
