keep program runningIf I have a Windows application with no form--only a module that starts with
sub main and which has a system timer, in the elapsed event of which I want to run some code, how can I keep this program from running through the sub main code and then closing without ever firing the timer? I can put Do While 3 <> 2 Loop at the end of the sub main code and that seems to work, but there must be a better way. Are you trying to run some process, that will execute a serious of steps?

As you tell it there is not any code needed. Can you rephrase. Probably it is a loop with a threading.thread.sleep in it. However there your text does not tell how your program stops.

I tried to use a Windows service to do this but found that it ran in a different account than did the user so it had no knowledge of things like key strokes, etc that the user was making. Here is the sub main code. All of the work is actually done in the timer code. Public Sub Main() MyTimer1.Interval = 50 MyTimer1.Enabled = True MyTimer2.Interval = 10000 MyTimer2.Enabled = True 'MsgBox("started") 'this will keep the program running if not clicked on 'here is another method of keeping the program running to allow the timers to fire. Do While 3 <> 2 Loop End Sub Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:eSHhK3tVGHA.5012@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > William, > > As you tell it there is not any code needed.

Application.doevents threading.thread.sleep(milliseconds) ' something as 3000 Loop This will stop the program if the user clickes the close box in top of the form. If you let it always go it will eat your complete processing time.
