Thanks for the info! We have some real short interval timers, 50 and 200 ms timers... So that we can continuously read from our probe-devices. They work good, although sometimes we have 2 timers running at once which I don't care for, but it seems to work ok. But it seems we should be able to streamline the code better to get faster response times, and maybe we wont need to have the timers run that quickly? Then maybe the buttons would work better?

Let me ask you something, in most cases I am assuming that with a 50ms timer, the timer is up before the timer-code is finished. Does that mean that the timer-code will re-run immediately, or not until the timer-code is finished, then it runs it again?

I think there is a lot of potential to clean up our code and make it run better/faster, especially with timers. I just need to understand them better.
Thanks!
Seth

>>Upon further testing, the RIGHT mouse button always seems to select the button properly, while the LEFT mouse button clicks it and gets the button to work.

>>Thanks for any help!
