form timer event

[din2005]

I've all ready have code to flash label every 1 second or so... but what i would like to do have another timer event to flash another label every 5 seconds.

Can this be done... is it posible to describe it in easy steps and a sample code will be very helpful

many thanks.

I am fairly sure there was a post about this, but I can't find it. Something on these lines, I think:

Dim intCount

Private Sub Form_Timer()
intCount = intCount + 1
Me.txt1Sec = Now()
If intCount Mod 5 = 0 Then
    Me.txt5Secs = Now()
End If
End Sub

You cannt have two timer controls on the same control!
But in your case you could use a static variable increased on every sec by 1 and check if that value equals 5. When true execute the 5seconds code and reset static variable to 0
