If you put the same code in the click of a button (except for this.enabled) the program will step through just fine.

>You're right. I guess I've never tried to debug any timer code with the debugger. Looks like you'll have to "deskcheck" the code, or debug the routine outside of the timer. Or get it right the first time. ;)

I guess you could create a method on the form (or subclass the timer object and add a method) then call the other method from the timer event. You can then step through that code.
