Hi Chris,
I assume you're working with VFP. VFP has timer objects that can be instanced to use in custom classes, etc. You could easily set up an application object with 1 or more timers to do your bidding when ever needed. Another idea is to use an event scheduler. I believe (don't really know) that WIN95 plus pack has scheduling capabilities.
Good luck
Hugh
Microsoft hears loudest what the VFP community says about Visual FoxPro by looking at the bottom line!
