>I'm building an application and another co-worker wants to add a timer to the _screen to manage the size of another screen that is going to act like a startup screen and be up all the time. Does anyone know of problems with timers running under the _screen, just don't feel good about a timer running all the time, also it consumes processing power. Any issues with this?

Roy, the only thing with timers is that if VFP is in a very busy processing section then the timer event will not fire. Otherwise there are no known bugs or problems with timers. They work very well.

They also do not take up any procesing power to speak off. The timer event itself of course takes up whatever processing power it requires but that is up to you.
