>You should disable timer at the beginnig of the processing and enable it afterwards.

I don't think that I fully understand what you mean. I have some code that if these files are available (all of them ) that I stop (disable) the timer completely and then do the processing (copying the files to our directory and running some conversion programs). But the error was caused (I think) before the processing.

Or do you mean that a "set default to (this.cDownloadDirectory)" can take more than a minute which causes this? In other words why should I disable the timer.. i'm sorry for my ingnorance

>>I have subclassed the vfp timer that looks every minute in a directory for 10 files showing up, after that the program has to run a batch program. I have tried this program last friday and usually these files show up saturday. When coming to the office monday I noticed that the program stucked with an error: invalid path on the following syntax:

>>PROCEDURE TIMER()
