Let's see!
Your using the VFP6 timer control.

1) You have it set to read and write to DBFs at 1 minute intervals.
That is 60,000 timer ticks. 1 second is 1000 timer ticks. So assure that your process interval is triggered every 60,000 ticks.

2) When the process is triggered, you may want to reset the timer (turn it off), until the process finishes. When the process completes, you could turn it on.

So make sure 1 minute = 60,000 and look at possibly using a timer 'reset' when your process is triggered, and let us know how it worked out.
