However we found that the code which runs on the timer event must be disabled for the
programmers. Otherwise weird things start happening when you're editing code.
Also print preview would sometimes not allow the users to run a menu item to export
the report to Excel or others. So you had to right click on the Previewed report to
get some type of internal focus back on the report so they could then export it.
This was also helped by extending the timer to five minutes.
The downside to extending the timer to five minutes was if a person stays in the same
form and at the same control for considerable parts of the day, ie someone doing the
same inquiries, the routine didn't realize that they had actually done something.
I'll be putting in some logic sometime to reset this timer whenever they do something
in the program.
