Hi!

Probably in the MT DLL it is in some sort of sleeping state until COM object is called. Did you tried to put the Timer object on the hidden form and use it that way? I remember once I have the same problem in the application running without the screen. After I put a timer on teh form, all went ok. I think it is not a bug, but have something relaed to the way Windows events work and processed by VFP.
