Timer fires inconsistantelythe timer object globally: Private t As New System.Timers.Timer(4000) And I have a button that that triggers an event handler: Private Sub myButton(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click t.Enabled = True AddHandler t.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired End Sub Which triggers: Private Sub TimerFired(ByVal sender As Object, _ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) MsgBox(commandID) commandID = commandID + 1 If commandID = 7 Then t.Enabled = False t.Stop() t.Close() commandID = 0 isFirstStart = False End If End Sub The first the time button gets clicked, the TimerFired method fires every 4 seconds, it works great the first time, however on the second time it goes like Fire Fire... 4 seconds.. Fire fire... 4 seconds... fire fire On the third time it will go like: fire fire fire... 4 seconds fire fire fire... How can I make it so that it will go like fire... 4 seconds... fire... 4 seconds... fire 4 seconds etc... each time I press the button? p.s Please explain as simply as possible, this is my first time programming in VB. Thanks for any input Looks like I solved my own problem, here's the solution the benifit of
others: This like of code "AddHandler t.Elapsed, AddressOf TimerFired" should only be triggered ONCE and only once during the entire execution of the program. To prevent it from triggering the second time, I simply declared a boolean variable to be true and then once the button has been triggered once, it resets the boolean value to false, so it will not recall that line of code, the handler the second time.

Any reason that you don't use the Forms timer? In my expririence does that with a normal form application give much less problems than the system and threading timers.
