I need to time a test for 30 mins, how to I get the timer to run from a Cmd Button?
 
To set a timer to run on CMDButton Click

Timer1.Enabled = true
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
' Timer code will fire once a second. Interval is milliseconds
Me.Timer1.Interval = 1000
End Sub
 
Don't forget that the timer can only be set up to 65535 max (a little over a minute).
try this:

In the Form load (or wherever you want to start the timer):
Code:
Timer1.Interval = 60000 ' 1 minute
Timer1.Enabled = True
and for the Timer event:
Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Static lngCounter As Long
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
If lngCounter = 30 Then
MsgBox "30 mins is up"
Timer1.Enabled = False
lngCounter = 0
End If
End Sub
Let me know if this helps
