Doug, Here is a possiblity. Untested.

I tested it last night. After a TIMERENABLED 'FALSE' is issued, it appears TIMERENABLED 'TRUE' resets the timer to count down the full interval, not just restart it from where the TIMERENABLED 'FALSE' was issued. :( Doug On 10/24/2018 9:13 AM, Albert Berry wrote: > I had a look at the Help for this, and that was no help at all for your question.
