>The timer is a control, not a property, but a control, on the form controls toolbar. The Interval property is how often it fires, in milliseconds,so for 30 seconds you'd put in 30000 as a value. The event that gets fired every Interval is the Timer event (in this case, perhapsyou would have Thisform.release in the timer event).

www.microsoft.com/kb). In a nutshell, it consists of calling the form with the TO clause (ie DO FORM selfdestruc_choice TO glwill_we_die) and returning the value with RETURN
in the Unload of the form.

Hi Jerry,
I get it now. All I have to do is drop a timer control on the
form I want to be released after 5 seconds. In the Interval area
of the timer property, I will put 5000 and in the Timer event I will
put RELEASE THISFORM. I can not thank you guys enough.. :)
