    Yes I know I can use timer to load a form but what I really need is that if I move the mouse around the timer won't start. This mean whenever I move the mouse the timer is reset until I leave the mouse idle for 5 minutes. Anyway thanks for your reply.

    Activate the Timer when Userform_LostFocus()
    Disable Timer when Userform_GotFocus()
