Suadh,
Unlike VB, in Access you do not need to add a control on a form for a Timer
function; it is built in all forms by default, just not activated until you
do so in design view or through code.
Open your form in design view and display the form properties; select the
Events tab and scroll alll the way down. Changing the Timer Interval setting
fom default 0 (inactive) to a positive integer will activate the timer event
(interval is in milliseconds, so 1000 for 1 sec and so on).
The use the On Timer property (right above the interval one) to assign /
create the macro or code to be run.
HTH,
Nikos
