hello there...

1. add a timer to your form and set its property properly that it will only raise the event every 30 mins..
2. read anything about ADO...  

ex.. (note) i dont have a vb system right now so bare with it.. sorry..

'call this procedure inside the timer procedure .

sub SaveData(Text1 as string, text2 as string, text3 as string)
dim rs as new AdoDb.recordset

rs.open TableName / Query,DbConnection... ect.

rs!fld1 = text1
rs!fld2 = text2
rs!fld3 = text3
rs.update

rs.close
set rs = nothing

end sub

hope this helps....

Hello. Just my two cents: remember that with the Timer control you can't easily reach an half an hour time, as the largest allowed setting for the Interval property is 65536 milliseconds. A trick is to set a global counter variable, and increase it every minute (60000 ms): when it reaches 30, reset it to zero and do your operations.
Hope it helps.
