>I made a quick test. Until 'read events' timer seems not to be fired but polls its events and as 'read events' is encountered do all at once. Here is the code I used :

oForm=CreateObject('Form')

If start is set near the end of a day (23:59:56 for example) it'll never run out.  Use DATETIME() rather than SECONDS() to avoid this problem.
