[AccessD] Command to save the database

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Bill

Numbers default to Integer. Specify Long:

    Me.TimerInterval = 1000& * 60& * 10&

Don't know about your macro issue ...

Emne: Re: [AccessD] Command to save the database

ok, I still need some help - please.

I have been thwarted (temporarily I hope) by two conditions.

I put this code in a form that I want to open on startup. I am getting an overflow error, I presume because the value in miliseconds is too high a number. However, how else can I make the event occur only at 10 minute intervals?

Secondly, when the database opens up, the AutoExec which calls my function to open the frmSaveMe form invisibly runs PRIOR to the UI giving the option to Enable content, and throws up a dialog in which the only response appears to be "Stop All Macros". Kinda defeats the purpose of an AutoExec.

There is only one step in the macro, it is RunCode LaunchSaveMe().

How can I make this macro warning go away, and simply run - preferably after Content has been enabled?

Private Sub Form_Load()
SaveMe
Me.TimerInterval = 1000 * 60 * 10
End Sub


Private Sub Form_Timer()
SaveMe
End Sub
