Hi Hank,

Yes you are right - I already spotted this.
but it doesnt help the real issue which is that the timer still does not fire when this is run as a service :(

Thanks anyway!
Will

Either oMailLoop has to be public, or you could add a property to _screen (which exists even if not visible), or you could do away with the procedure call altogether, and instantiate oMailLoop directly before the read events.
