I'm reasonably sure that, as long as the two events are part of the same EXE, you'll finish the Timer code before the Activate fires.

What I have seen in one app that uses a VFP EXE and several VFP COM objects is that when one VFP app calls a method of another, it can interrupt code in the called app. That is, if MainApp is running MainMethod() and ComApp calls MainApp.SomeMethod(), MainMethod gets interrupted until SomeMethod is done.
