Thanks for quick reply - I have already tried your suggestion.
Just thought there might be an extra Timer function somewhere that has a parameter to pass the number of repeats I wanted
I guess I have to stick with the 'counters' option.
Thanks again,
Stephanie

short answer, yes.
longer answer, you could use a module scope variable to act as a counter
and increment the value every time your timer fires and then check for
your condition. Timer1.stop() should do the trick.
the tutorials cover how to add multiple timers in a module.
