>I have a formA that runs 3 timers. This formA also lauches other forms for the purpose of editing tables. FormA monitors telephone activity so the timers need to stay running. Except, timers do things like wipe out highlighted text, jumble formatted text while entering it, cause dropdown cbos to not function at all, among other irritating childlike behaviors. What's a mother to do? (Besides turning them off)

Eric, I haven't tried this, but could you use a separate form for the timers? Small, hidden by your formA perhaps?
