Hi Jim,

>No, in the case that the interval *has* expired (maybe 10 minutes ago, maybe 3 hours ago) once the app. REGAINS control, it will fire. If it was 3 hours ago and you have 2hours set, then you will get 2 immediate fires.

>This is true regardless of the interval. With a very short interval you will get as many fires as have occurred too, all at once, upon the app. regaining control.

Are you sure ? As I recall correctly and have used in several programs, Timers also fire when VFP does not have the focus.
