I have found timers to be twitchy critters in VFP. Not bad ones, just twitchy. We've had better luck instantiating timers in memory, not bound to a form. If I wanted the timer to be dependant on the form. I would instantiate it during the load() of the form, and release it during the destroy().

We had a case where timers were changing the current data session when they fired which was rather problematic.
