Bob:

Thanks for you input :o)

I instead of ".DoThisMethod()" I issued a "QUIT" just to see if the ccp_Timer was firing. The program did "QUIT" so I think this confirmed that the timer fired. A short cut, lazy man's test, to what you suggested. Thanks.

The creator of this timer has given me some advice and I'll try to implement it.
