ah i noticed lol but i'm try'n to avoid a timer maybe if it's possible to have multiple timers that have different timespans in them like maybe

Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

timer1.interval = 2000

end sub
multiple timers that have different timespans in them like maybe

Code:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

timer2.interval = 3000

end sub
then like

Code:
textbox1.text
timer1()
textbox1.text
timer2().....
