I am NOT sure, but I can assure you that the event procedure(s) need to be inconsequential, and even then the app will be impacted greatly.

There has been discussion on this forum before that has proven that even if you set the interval to 1 there is no way that the processor can actually keep up with that. I don't remember exactly what that threshold was. If memory serves correctly (and it's processor dependent) it was somewhere around the 50's...
>it's processor dependent
It is OS dependant.
>I want something to be faster
Sure. There are higher resolution timers than the system timer (which is what VB's Timer is derived from). As bjd4c comments, this has come up a number of times in the forum. Try a keyword search. If you cannot find what you are looking for, post here again and we'll try to help further
