Hi Mike. Well I've tried many different things in the timer interval to
accomplish this task, however, something is not working. Both panels
display at same time and don't disappear. I don't think I'm familiar enough
with timer to complete this. Do you have any further advice on how this
task can be accomplished? Appreciate any feedback and guidance, thank you
kindly.

Again, I've never used this timer control, but from reading
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.timer.aspx, it
looks like I would put my two panels that need to be toggled for
visibility into a containing UpdatePanel. Something like this:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdPnl" runat="server">
<asp:Panel ID="pnlViewPhotos" runat="server"/>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlWarning" runat="server" visible="false"/>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Thanks Mike. Appreciate the comments and link. Read the contents nut am
still now sure how to apply this to my case. I've been trying and trying
but cannot get my stuff to work as I want. There must be a way that I am
missing.
