Hi George

A couple of follow up question if you don't mind .

I must be doing something wrong then, every time I visually drop a timer on the command button group it actually goes onto the underlying form instead. From this I assumed that even though the command button group was called a container object it could only contain command buttons (as the name implies). Can the timer be added to the command button group using the class designer instead of the form designer ?

>DEFINE CLASS MyTimer AS TIMER

Did you mean to put the class and procedure definitions in a prg (such as my main prg) or can this code be added to the command button group some way ?

TIA
