[VB] Idle Question

inaccurate?

it'll work fine, but vb timers aren't known for triggering on time

It should be accurate.

The VB Timer control is a wrapper around the Win32 SetTimer function and WM_TIMER message (aka the "User32 timer").
Although the User32 timer is a low-resolution timer, for such high intervals (an entire second) it will be accurate. (You may still lose a millisecond or three because of the VB VM's overhead.)

It will only be inaccurate if you specify a low interval that requires a high-resolution timer. I wouldn't trust it to be accurate with an interval lower than about 50.
