Subject Re: Error Code 239 IDAPI error From Michael <michael@abstractservices.com.au> Date Sun, 22 Oct 2023 18:01:11 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Akshat, I actually run it and over lay it over a section of my main software so it looks like its part of it and the form is always open on screen. The timer activates the syncing routine every 15 seconds. The timer is disabled until the routine is complete and then activated again once completed. I too noticed if you place an icon on the taskbar and you click it a few times, it causes a problem. Thanks Akshat.
