           Next

     Next
Timer3.Start()  'timer start again
End Sub

Answer 1

That will do it (although you will need Timer3.Enabled = False and Timer3.Enabled = True to stop and start it.

Note though that if this is a Windows Forms timer it is not multi threaded. There is a comparison of timers here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc164015.aspx
