Hello Mal,

In your Example of:

>>>WITH THISFORM
>>>.....SetUpTimer(1,200,".DoThisMethod()")
>>>ENDWITH

the .dothismethod() must contain the correct info to close your form
down... So the first thing I would do is make sure the method is
firing by placing a WAIT WINDOW 'It Fired!' in the method...
That will display a window to let you know we're on the right
track... Then...

If you have a modal form, you'd need that method to state
to release the form "thisform.release()" (Without Quotes)...

If in your main.prg program you issued a Read Events call, then
you'd need that method to also have "clear events"... (Without Quotes)

Please let me know how it goes...
Thanx!
Bob
