I've definitely had problems in the past where the timer on a form in a 24/7 EXE would fall asleep and just nudging the title bar with the mouse would wake it up. That was like VFP 7 back in the day. I also had problems with the timer in VFP 3 or so.

Anyway, we have a customer site where our app uses up to 3 timers, I believe, and it appears that they're falling asleep and not firing.

No other customer seems to be reporting this, however. But, the customer says it happens on numerous machines at their site.

The purpose of the timer is to see if a file hit a folder and then to act on it. I'm trying to extract the bind events in the VFP 9 Windows Events in the Samples and it, the event binding, seems to work.

Anybody?
