I, a beginner with VB, developed a program that periodically checks a text file and uploads values into a form over a network. I am using a timer to run this code. The problem is, is that when the program is running but is minimized it steals the focus from the active application when the timed event runs. I want it to run in the background when it is not the active app,. How do I get it to do its job, without stealing focus? The event runs about every 30 seconds or so. Please include specific code syntax/object properties where possible.
