Hi all

I have a screen with a timer on that scans on a file every 20 seconds and if there is an outstanding job it calls an OLE server method to do a specific job. The problem I have, is how to interrupt the timer and get back on the screen.

I tried to have a button on the screen but i never get focus.
I tried to have ON KEY LABEL CTRL+END m.user_stop = .T.

SELECT JOBS
SCAN FOR EMPTY(JOBS.STATUS) &&& Scanning only jobs not completed
if m.user_stop = .t.
wait wind 'Exit job ........'
exit
endif

******** CALL SERVER
OX=CREATEOBJECT(MYSERVER.MYMETHOD)
...

ENDSCAN


With the above code sometimes the process interrupted but not always.

Any ideas ?
