Timer erases txtbox value when fires 1

[wbstrider]

When timer fires on form to change an object unrelated to the text boxes on the form, the value in the text boxes are refreshed from the controlsource (the dbf on the server)

If I am entering 'John Doe' I enter 'John' then the timer fires and erases 'John' and resets the cursor to the left.

How can I run a timer without refreshing the other objects on the form? #-)

Obviously, the timer event in your form is calling some form.refresh(). You can avoid this call and refresh only the timer related items refresh().
This will solve your problem. May be you have such refreshes in GotFocus Event of the form..which can also be avoided.
Hope this helps
