Hi Harry,

I came across this thread while doing a search, and figured I'd chime in.

I've got an app that uses a native vfp timer and runs in the background and only becomes visible at certain periods of the day. Point being, the timer events still fire while the app is not active.

To answer your root question, did you ever check out the Reset method of the timer control? It'll restart the counter.
