>>I am using VFP 5. I have a timer in a toolbar that will be used to refresh the data displayed in the toolbar, this toolbar will be used as a status display for system information. The problem is that the timer doesn't seem to fire unless I click on the toolbar. The timer is enabled and works, I just have to click on it. I noticed that there are a couple of refrences hear about doing this exact thing, so I am hopeing that I am just not doing something right. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. That is how I got the timer to work but it would be nice if the timer could just be part of the toolbar. Is this a know behavior, (timer not fireing in a tool bar)? Can timers only exist as part of a form or container object? How about adding a timer to the global application object?
