Hi Paul!
In VFP5 you should set the Interval to something a little greater then what was described in my tip. Something like Interval=100 or Interval=200 should do the trick. In this case the form comes up with a 1/10 of a second delay which should be fine.
Greetings
Markus
EPS SoftwarePS: DoEvents won't do anything in this case since it doesn't deal with OLE blocks.
>I haven't read this tip (I think I'm late with one issue of FoxPro Advisor). I think this tip should work fine in VFP3. In VFP5, the Timer event will be fired for 50-300 (depending on how powerful and loaded is the computer) until it is disabled even if you have (This.Enabled = .f. in the Timer event).

>>Markus Egger just had a tip in FoxPro Advisor on this. The problem is in the event model of VFP. An internal flag is set whenever a OLE event occurs. ALL other events are ignored until the first is over. Markus suggest a timer class to circumvent the problem. I hope it's ok to reproduce here.

If the thus called Form is modal and that modal form itself contains an other ActiveX-Control like one of the upper ones, those ActiveX-Controls do not react on any event.
