Hi!

COM objects are quite different than usual VFP objects. It is not recommended to use any other class than "custom" for COM objects.

I don't know exactly if it will work, but try following:
- Make your COM object as custom object
- in the INIT event create timer object and assign it to the custom hidden property of main COM object
- in the Destroy method of COM object free timer object
- in the methods of COM object you can access internal timer object. Timer event of timer should fire even when COM object is remote.

Hope this will work.

>I create a timer class that I instantiate in my application which is an OLEPUBLIC. I also set the timer to OLEPUBLIC and put some code in the Timer Event.
>When my app is compiled as an EXE COM, the Timer fires off properly. However when I compile it as multithreaded whether single or multiple instance , it does not fire the Timer. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before?

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
