Hiya,
Trying to get a Windows service created for a customer, but I've getting stuck at the first hurdle.
The code below SHOULD generate an error saying it can't display a modal window ('cos I'm using MsgBox), but it's not. It doesn't seem as if the timer elapses event is been fired.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
