The timer just counts and exits?

John,
 I have been dealing with this for over 4 months, and through some serious
testing I discovered if I shut down the timer, the problem went away, never
to occur again. So that lead me to think that there was something failing or
too complex about the code running in the timer. So I ran the timer to
"count" and the problem would reoccur.

 Extraordinarily frustrating!!!

May I suggest, "lost cause"?

While everyone on the list will agree that i, l and k are all simply just
integer or long counters, and could be used interchangeably... it also isn't
a big deal to be explicit and say lngRankCnt or lngRankCount, the fact that
it took you all of a .001 seconds to type out the extra characters is
negligable... and in fact when reviewing your code for logic you'd spot the
variable name and explicitly know what the heck it was ment to do.
