>I could have sworn that I remembered seeing an example of doing something like this, so I went digging, and found the server example that shipped with VFP 5, that implements a pool in VFp using timers. So I compiled my project in VFP 5 and it worked! Did we lose something that I am not aware of? Do timers not work in COM servers any more? On my machine, running the following server as either a single use, multi-use or out of proc server produces no results. No errors, it just doesn't work.

Hmm. I just tried your code and it worked fine for me, under VFP 6. I even tried it a few times and changed the timeout value to something larger. Before the event fires, it's .F., after it's .T.
