Hello Robert


Whats you intervals and how many timers do you have running??
...I ask cause in the foxpro class I took they made it a point to say "Never have a quick interval, keep it above 1000" and "Never have more then one timer running" i.e. if a forn in the background has a timer make sure before you launch your next form to set the interval to 0


Hope this helps



>We've been experiencing a multitude of problems with the timer control that ships with Visual Studio. It will stop firing on the interval its assigned to and only fire sporadically, much later than its supposed to. The intervals between firing events differ each time. The timer is used in an application that has no user interaction except to start it and shut it down.
