How to set a timer and continue processing

[Michel1955]

Hi

I have the following problem:
I have a database where products are scanned using an automatic scanner.
When a product is scanned, a TimerInterval is set to 10 seconds.
When a second product is scanned, this TimerInterval is reset to 10 seconds.
After scanning, a report is printed after 10 seconds.
I made a Progressbar of 10 seconds and it is also set to 10 seconds each time, but I would like to rescan while the Processbar is running and this does not work.

Thanks in advance</SPAN></SPAN>

put DoEvents command on the progressbar after updating the progress.

Hi,
Tx for your reply.
I have used the DoEvents but when I then do the next scanning I get an 2115 Run-time error.
Regards

Ok.
After scanning set TimerInterval= 10000

On the Timer event cancel the timer by setting the TimerInterval =0.

The 2 instructions are already present in my code.

Show your code, (the whole of it), also mark the line which give you the 2115 Run-time error!

Access can not run multiple threads simultaneously. Each section of code must complete before another starts. I'm not sure what happens if you are doing something and a timer event fires. I think it interrupts what you are doing and runs the timer event and then goes back to what you were doing. You will need to test these timers VERY carefully.
