You just need to add the proprety in the class declaration. Just open the designer, right click over the form and click "View Code", once in code view add your property declaration like this:

namespace myNameSpace
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public string myProperty;  // LIKE THIS
        private string myOtherproperty; // OR LIKE THIS
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }

>I need to keep track of "something" as the Timer event (.Tick <g>) fires. In VFP world (used to be a language like that, maybe some of you older folk remember <g>) it was done by adding a custom property to a form. Then this property was in scope in any method of the form.
