Use
Use this property to run a macro or script a specified number of times (TimerCount) at a given interval of time (TimerInterval) after a form in opened. This property is useful if you want to run a macro or script on the form with no interaction from the user as it is triggered when the timer interval for the form has expired.
The timer resolution depends upon the limitations of the hardware and operating system, and can vary between several microseconds and about 18 milliseconds.
- TimerInterval property: the interval, in milliseconds, between Timer events
- TimerCount property: the number of times the Timer event should be triggered
- OnTimer property: the macro/script to run at each Timer event
TIP:
If the TimerInterval property is set to 0, then no Timer events occur. If the TimerCount property is set to 0 and the TimerInterval property is non-zero, then the Timer events will continue to be triggered until the form is destroyed.
