On a related note... Man I feel like such a newbie.. I'm trying to use the timer control.l

From in the app there it looks like this:
x does not = y
do while x = y
'do stuff here..
timer1.interval = 5000
timer1.enabled = true
call timer1_timer



private sub timer1_timer()
'more stuff goes on in here.
'this stuff actually DOES get executed, but there is no "pausing"
End Sub


From what I understand (which is clearly wrong) the timer loop should execute, wait for the timer interval and then execute again. But it just FLIES right through..

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
