Because of the way windows does multitasking, the WM_TIMER message is not totally accurate. One thing that you might be able to do is set a timer for every 50 seconds. Every time you get that, reset it for every 1 second. When you get to the time you need, reset it again back to 50. There are ways to get better resolution, but if you only need a message every 60 seconds, it's probably not worth the effort. Chris
