Mark,

*rof'l*

You're sure on one tonight. < g >

George gave me a good approach with his little program. The combination of each form having a timer object that automatically knew how to shut the form down after "X" amount of time is my basic approach. Then I just instantiate it with the scheme I want (with respect to how often the timer event gets queried) and I'm ready to rock and roll. From 0700 -> 1800 I check each 30 minutes, from 1801 -> 2000 I check each 15 minutes and 5 for all the rest.

BTW, thanks for the very nice words. Appreciated. I enjoyed chatting with you yesterday and sorry I didn't call today as I had promised. What with an all day seminar at my church and finding out that my grandmother died yeaterday it's been a little hectic. She was 99 years old and still alert but her body just quit. Quite a lady. I'l miss her but I rejoice in her life. It was full and the last time we talked she told me she was tired and was ready to go be with the Lord. Apparently she just went to sleep and didn't wake up.

Perhaps I will get a chance to call you tomorrow.

Best,
