[RESOLVED] Using A Timer

[bat711]

I'm using a third part OCX to check for an update via the internet. Unfortunately the error handling for when there is no connection (either no internet connection or the web site is down) that was built into it isn't functioning correctly and the program will hang. My idea was to use a timer and if it didn't find the web site in 5 seconds error out and pass a "flag" through an .INI file. Unfortunately it's not working as I'd hoped. Here is the code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    Timer1.Enabled = True
    Timer1.Interval = 5000
    WebVrChk1.Check         'Checks the site for version information.
 
End Sub

My problem is that even when the site is available it still waits 5 seconds and errors out. Is there a better way to wait for WebVrChk1.Check? Any help?

Thanks
