    Timer object

    Hi

    How can i use the timer object without having a form.
    I want to start a timer though the "AutoExec" macro and keep it running until the database is closed



    Thanks in advance

    What is your ultimate goal with this timer object?

    I load an invisible form with the AutoExec macro that uses the timer event. It is my housekeeping and KickEmOff form.

    I knew that and just thought I'd do the typing for you.
