Hi!

Well, if you have 2 timers on your form, this may happen. I don;t know all logic of your form, so cannot help.

Finally, you can remove and add again timer control in run-time to reset it. This, for sure, will start timer counting from zero.

(which means that the timer must now be disabled - right?) yet, even as I gaze at the code in the trace and watch windows, the 'checkpresent' code carries on running (it hasn't even been called at this stage!!!) and shuts down the program...
