How i can do in my vb application to repet an action at interval of 3 minutes ??
I was used the timer, but the max interval of the timer is 65 seconds.

Please help me!

hi there...

just use a timer and a variable that count how many times did the timer fires, when you count 3 do your stuff and reset that variable to 0...

Using a timer for extended periods is as Gonzalon says.

However, make sure your variable is static if it is declared within your timer event handler.
Otherwise, declare your variable at the form level.

and if you don't want to use a variable, you can still use the Tag property of the timer

myTimer.Inteval = 30000 '' half a sec
myTimer.Tag = 0
myTimer.Enabled = true

and in the onTimer event

myTimer.Enalbled = false
myTimer.Tag = myTimer.Tag + 1
if myTimer.Tag = 6 then
'' call your method
else
myTimer.Enabled = true
endif
