Yep. Your form that has the timer can be run MDI with AlphaBlend set to 0
so it doesn't show to the user. In the case where you might want to run
multiple timers, you can open multiple MDI forms like this because each
timer runs in its own thread. When they (the MDI forms) are instantiated,
use the "as ALIAS" syntax so you can close the MDI forms from the onClose
EEP of the main form.

and the scrollbar change, while I'm in another form.
Thanks Again

The Target Form must have a component ID then the command goes like:
PROPERTY TarGetFormCompID|TargetFormButtonCompID Caption
'ThisIsTheCaptionValue'

I'm trying to update a button caption on one form (startup form), while
I'm in another form. Any ideas?
Thank you,
