In this case, the timer.timer event disable the timer!

Thats why i said earlier in this thread that
it is better to use a command button to
acces directly the code in the timer.timer event.

A checkbox may confuse the user because when you
click it, the control was checked and after
the timer.timer event fire it remain checked
even if the timer was now disabled...

You know what i mean?

HTH :-)
