In VB, the timer option only lets you go up to 65000 milliseconds or 65 seconds. How do you make it go up more?

You need to do a work around to get the timer control to execute code at an interval greater than 65 seconds. You need to set the interval to 60000ms (1 minute) and have a variable which keeps track of how many times the Timer event has fired. For example, if you wanted to execute a piece of code every 2 minutes, you would do the following:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Static intMinutes As Integer

intMinutes = intMinutes + 1

If intMinutes = 2 Then
Dosomething()
intMinutes = 0
End If

End Sub

All you need to change in the above code is the number of minutes for the interval. Hope this helps.
