Bela:

Okay ... had to go the PUBLIC the goMyForm method :o(
But .. IT WORKED!! :O) THANKS.

Problem:
I have 2 seperate programs that run simultaneously and reacts to each other, and, both run timers. Now, when I run cppTimer on both ... no timer functions are avail. However, if I run cppTimer in 1 program and the VFP Timer in the other, all's fine.

What's happening? Does calling InitTimers() in 2 seperate programs running at the same time crash the cppTimer.fll?

TIA

Mal

>>>However, a line such as ...

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