>I have a timer control that has code in it that is supposed to execute once and only once 5 seconds after the form has initiated. I have placed in the end of the timer's timer event 'this.enabled = .F.' I was expecting this to cause the code to be executed only once, but it doesn't. the timer event fires continually after that. What am I doing wrong? TIA

Erik:

Set you Timer Interval to 0 to turnit off
