>>Thanks for your advice and the cppTimer ... hope I can get it to work :o)

>>I try to implement your suggestions although I don't have a goApps I'll try to incorporate something similar.

>>Will let you know how it goes.

>>Thanks Bela

>>P.S. By the way, Larry's _Screen.ActiveForm.MyFunc() worked. Had to use a macro subst. though:
>>
>>This did not work:
>>SetUpTimer(1,200,"_Screen.ActiveForm.DoThisMethod()")
>>
>>But this did:
>>lcMethod = _Screen.ActiveForm.DoThisMethod()
>>SetUpTimer(1,200,"&lcMethod")

>>Strange eh?

>>>Hello Mal,
>>>
>>>thank you for using my cppTimer!
>>>
>>>You assume that cCommand will be evaluated as would be eveluated by a VFP evaluate() command without any object enviroment.
>>>So you must provide a valid object reference.
>>>
>>>e.g.:
>>>
>>>public goMyForm
>>>
>>>goMyForm=thisform
>>>
>>>WITH THISFORM
>>>.....SetUpTimer(1,200,"goMyForm.DoThisMethod()")
>>>ENDWITH
>>>
>>>I hope this helps.

>>>bb
>>>
>>>U.I.: if you don't like public variables, (as me), there is a other way.
>>>I always have an goApp public variable. Add a method to this object like OnCPPTimer:
>>>
>>>lparameter tcFormName, tcFormMethod
>>>
>>>for i=1 to _screen.FormCount
>>> if _screen.forms[i].name=tcFormName
>>> evaluate("_screen.forms[i]."+tcFormMethod+"()")
>>> exit
>>> endif
>>>endfor
>>>
>>>
>>>And here is how to start the timer:
>>>WITH THISFORM
>>>.....SetUpTimer(1,200,"goApp.OnCppTimer("+thisform.name+",anymethodname)")
>>>ENDWITH
>>>
>>>of course your form name must be unique among other forms.
