I have created a database with MS Access and would like to incorporate the ability to execute some code every ?minutes while the user can use the database. How can I do this with VBA. I am unable to find a timer control in VBA as the one in Visual Basic 6.0.

Can someone please HELP.

Thank you

There is a timer event in a form. You could open a form, set the form's visible property to false and run your code in the background.

HTH,
Eric
