Steve,

>>Is there a way to make the command button invisible, but still let the timer press the button at certain intervals? I don't think it worked when I tested it late this afternoon.


You might consider putting the operational code that you have in the .Click event into a method that's scoped to the form itself. That way the functionality will be available to any control or process that needs it, regardless of the condition of the command button.
