Planning to use timer to control when a process will run. Are there any
known Timer issue in VFP 9? Also, what is the pro and con using timer
comparing to windows task scheduler?

Thanks

Timer means the app is always running.
task scheduler launches the app at a given time/interval.

Hi Peter:

You might want to look at bbScheduler - scheduler app with COM. You can
download it form www.universalthread.com. Go to the Download section,
choose Visual FoxPro as the product, and search for ID 9591.

I hope this helps.
