Hello,
I want to check automatically, at certain time intervals, if a folder has some files which I am interested in. For this purpose I chose to use the classic timer control checking per second if my time event ( my preset time = timer) is met. However, I feel it is not the best approach and I would appreciate any other opinions about it.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 100
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim clock As String
clock = Left$(Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AM"), 8)
Label1.Caption = clock
If clock = "14:25:00" Or clock = "16:10:00" Or clock = "17:30:00" Then
Call checkFolder
End If
End Sub
Private Sub checkFolder()
'check if some files exist in a folder
End Sub
