Stop form load and hide loop

You press a button results --> results.show

' The results of the program are showed on the screen.

But first the form results shows a other form which does som calculation for the results.

But there is some loop in the showing of the forms, if the second form hide's the first form does show the other form again because in the results form is placed:

Code:

form_activate()  
  form_load
end sub
' needed for up to date values

Is it possible to build it so that if the second form only is getting loaded/showed when it is more than 30 seconds later the form was showed before ?

Greetz,

Use a timer with an interval set to 30000, and a boolean variable
to check whether the 30 second have elapsed:

Code:

Private bAllow As Boolean

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
  bAllow = True
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  If bAllow Then
    bAllow = False
    Form2.Show
  Else
    MsgBox "Please wait 30 seconds between opening the form"
  End If
End Sub

´
Just an idea...
