>1. Do you include READ EVENTS command? If your formset is Modal you actually don't need in READ EVENTS.
>2. How do you Release? It's better first Release Thisformset and then Clear Events.
>3. It's also safe to 'back' timer before you release:
> ThisTimer.enabled=.f.
> release thisformset

The main application object, which launched the form (which is not modal) has a READ EVENTS.

The Timer event first sets
THIS.Interval = 0

then, to shut down, it sets
THIS.enabled = .F.
RELEASE THISFORMSET
CLEAR EVENTS
