Goodday!
Are you turning off the timer after a scheduled process begins.
-Time for 1 minute
- Timer.Interval=0 && Turn off timer
- DO schedule process
- Return from scheduled process
- Set timer interval to non 0

VFP Menus (GENMENU) affect the timer also?

Let me know
Terry

>>Okay:
>>It would be easy to say VFP5a may get sick sometimes (I dunno) - VFP6 w/ Visial Studio SP3 is what I use. I don't recall if timer is standard class or OCX with VFP5. When your routine issues a timer.reset, does it set timer.interval to 0 (zero)?

>>>>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.
