Tell me what exactly you are trying to do .

Why you need to load the form every 5 seconds ?

I assume you mean you need to delay the visibility of the form for 5 seconds?

Try this in your forms load event:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) ' 5 seconds

[Killer42]

System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( 5000) ' 5 seconds

The original post looks to me like VB6 code, in which case this won't work as posted.

THEAF, if you mean that you want the timer to load the form that it's on, this is impossible. Since the timer control exists within the form, it doesn't exist except while the form is loaded. It therefore cannot load that form. When the form is unloaded, no more timer.

Are you sure you don't want to unload the form? Or do you want to load a different form, or what?

sorry,
what it was, was that as the each 5 sec the public sub.. should be called to randomize a new number but it's ok now.
