>I am using the messagebox as a debug. It pops up everytime the timeraction fires. I was using this to veryify that timeraction was not firing the first time, thus, the messagebox would not appear. I agree, it would be silly to put a messagebox in a timer event unless you were using it as a mechanism to implement a nag screen or something. Thanks.

Why not sub-class the timer, and add a logical property. In the Timer Event add something like:

IF NOT This.lFired
  * Your message box here
  This.lFired = NOT This.lFired
ENDIF
