Hi,

Thank for your advise and suggestions.
I am still using VFP5a with service pack 3
I had my application trigger time for timer set to 60,000 ticks and
the timer disabled when updating the dbf file, before turing it back,
but it still give me error, plus under NT task manager, the memory usage
seem to increase, thus my conclusion of memory leakage.
I am using timer, grid and command button control only. Please advise.

>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.
