Few lines later it may be wrong, for whichever reason - and timers aren't the only thing. It may be a slightly complicated SKIPFOR expression, or a grid refresh or who knows what code. Also, I've noticed that in VFP9 _tally behaves differently in some situations than it behaved in all previous versions. Can't remember what it was - it's been a dozen years - but there WAS something which made me rely on it less and less.
But a timer could fire even between the statement that sets _TALLY and the one that stores it. That was an issue in the application I was working on where the timer fired often.
