Hi Virusim;

On VFP we have a tool more usefull for you instead of a DO WHILE

Do while will take so many of your processor's resources

After added the TIMER OBJECT to your app. It will be something like:

procedure myobj.timer
   if file found
       *unzip the file
       *process the file to main database files
   else
       *display that the application is idle
   endif
   if  exit
       *  break out of loop and end program
   endif
   doevent   &&<------ I am not shure what are you trying to do here
endproc

Ps: dont forget to set the proper interval to the TIMER OBJECT
