Visio Timer

[Twixman]

Is there a way to make Visio fire a macro every 60
minutes? I have found a Timer funciton in the help
files, but I am not sure how to implement it into my
project.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Twixman

Hi,

You can download LongTimer.ocx from my homepage. It should work in Visio.

Thanks Dick for the suggestion. This can work, but I
would like to see if I can do something like this in
plain VBA code instead of using the OCX file. I can do
what I want in Access VBA, but Visio VBA is different. I
can put the code to execute right when the document is
opened to get the current time and the time 1 hour from
now, but I can't get a loop statment to start adding to
the current time like a stopwatch.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

Well, you can build your own timer. There is code on www.mvps.org/vb that
could be used.
