Open forms and hit F1:
From Forms Help

A timer is an "internal time clock" that you programmatically create to perform an action each time the timer expires.
Timer duration can be between 1 and 2,147,483,647 millisecond (1 second=1000 milliseconds). The maximum duration of a timer is approximately 24.85 days.
When you work with timers you perform these steps:

1 Create the desired number of repeating or non-repeating timers using the CREATE_TIMER built-in subprogram.

2 Create a When-Timer-Expired trigger that performs the desired action whenever your timer expires.
