David, first of all sorry for calling you Frank again. I remember having made this error another time way back. Hope you'll forgive me. :)
Yeah, Viv's code is probably not the definitive proof. But we already came to that conclusion several messages back in this same thread. And I asked there for the input of those who should have to know, ideally somebody from the devteam. You are an mvp. Don't you have a backdoor? :)

>Sorry, but Viv's code is not definitive proof that it
will never happen. Given that VFP handles events between two lines of code, you must plan on the fact that it
can fire between the SELECT and the _tally access and therefore program the timer handler accordingly.

>>Frank, your arguments make sense IF a vfp-timer could possibly fire DURING this piece of code:
>>
select [somefield] from [sometable] into [somecursor]
>>lnTally = _tally
>>However, again, Viv's code suggests that this is not the case. (Remember, I'm only discussing _tally and timers here.)
Groet,

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
