>>>Thinking of it, I think this one will indeed take care of complication 2 that I mentioned. I have used this.enabled=.f. in the past, but apparently it has not become part of my 'automatic coding style'. I'll try to stick to it in the future. Perhaps they should have made it a native property of the timer class.

By and large. Resetting the interval disrupts the original time interval. Suppose the timer started at exactly 3 o'clock and is fired each 5 seconds. After your reset the interval will again be 5 seconds, but not each 5th, 10nd, 15th, etc. second of a minute.
I know that in a previous version (I think it was 3.0) setting the interval to 0 and later doing a reset was the preferred way to go, but that was due to one or more bugs. Those bugs are resolved and now the Enabled property works fine.
