>>Not overhead, but quite a bit of coding. Can you explain what is supposed to be the problem if I just set the timer, say, to 2 hours (2 * 3600 * 1000)? You mention accuracy, but doesn't the timer automatically check, at regular intervals, whether the specified time elapsed?

"If you check every two hours"?
If I set the Timer.Interval property to 2 hours, I expect the Timer() event to run after two hours - without me having to do additional checks or coding. Under what circumstances would that fail?
