The timer just counts and exits? John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Robert Gracie Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 8:17 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] Naming Conventions 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!!!
