>>>You were given the correct syntax to do this; however, the example does not follow suggested naming conventions used in c#. You may wish to use this style (or set up your own. Underscores are used for private level field variables. I point this out just for educational purposes.)

>>>>>>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.
