Larry:

Your suggestion worked - in a strange way, but it worked.

This did not work:
SetUpTimer(1,200,"_Screen.ActiveForm.DoThisMethod()")

But this did:
lcMethod = _Screen.ActiveForm.DoThisMethod()
SetUpTimer(1,200,"&lcMethod")

Thanks


>While I haven't worked with this library, I don't think you can use contructs like THIS and THISFORM. These are not viable outside of the context of the control/form and the FLL runs outside of that context.
