Hi Dorin,

The one thing that really annoys me about this issue is that it is not consistent, that's why I tend to think it maybe some sort of VFP limit that I have reached. If it is, a user friendly message to that effect would be nice.

The timer code is very simple in that it just ensures my status bar across the bottom of the application stays in place.

The code is:

     PROCEDURE Timer
     oStatus.Left = 0
     oStatus.Width = _screen.Width - 5
     oStatus.Top   = _screen.height - 27
     
     ENDPROC

and the interval is 5000.

BTW the reason that I don't see this as the cause is that it affects no other part of the application and I still get the problem with the timer turned off!

Best regards....Rex
