There is probably an easy way to do this but I am at a loss here. I need to have an action take place in a script im writing every 130 seconds. How can I make this happen since evloop only runs when an action has occurred? Is there a way to shell a series of functions or something similar?

I just checked that that did the trick. I knew it was something similar to that because I have seen that in others code or similar variations but I could'nt remember how to do it. Program is now functioning properly. Awesome!

You're welcome Kevin. Was glad to assist. Smile

I wanted the timer to run every 10 seconds or so but it seems to only run the first time that the program is run. Then it never runs the timer again. So basically regardless of whatever else is going on I want it to run every 5 seconds. Is that possible? I thought this would work but like I said it does it only once. Could I start the timer inside of EvLoop?

No. Because any event that is generated, especially at less that 5 second
intervals, will prolly cause an error because the timer is already running.

I would restart the timer at the end of your Timer1CTDOWN event label,
after doing your other processing but before returning to the Evloop.

Thats exactly what I did 2 seconds after I posted. I basically stopped the timer after the timer1 code and then restarted it within evloop.
Thanks again for all your help. Your software rocks by the way.
