The Timer runs in its own thread and doesn't consume a lot of resources, so it would be OK to use that method.

Would it make sense to have such a form check for a file within a folder and send it to the printer? In order to make it "feel fast", I would probably have to have the interval set to check about every 1-2 seconds, and it would be running continuously...would that be a big drain on resources? I think there is some way to do it with a windows service or process (sorry if I am using those terms incorrectly), but I don't have the skill to write something like that. : Mike : : : : ________________________________ : From: Mike Byerley <[email protected]> : To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> : Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 10:34 PM : Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing in Rbase for DOS on a Server from a Thin Client or Remote Desk Top : : I can recall in the past others used windows RBase to print DOS Rbase data : to counter this same scenario.
