For developers the timer running in a form while you are entering code may cause compile errors on the partially entered line of code you are typing, will cause words in comments to lose their space between them as you are entering them, and can cause flickering of other forms. VBA is single threaded, so if the code that runs in the timer takes awhile the form that the user is working on may become unresponsive. Etc. Etc. John W.
