Another question: If the timer hangs, can you "unblock" it by moving the Access window or switching between the form tabs? If yes, your problem might have the same root cause as a known Timer issue.

    Hi Heinzi,

    If Robert were finally a second important Microsoft customer 😉 affected by your personal timer bug, I'd follow up with the Access Team again to get them to raise the fix priority. 

    BTW, is it some weird cultural/economic hegemony thing that the three of us aren’t discussing this in Austrian dialect or at least in German? 🤔

      Yes, the irony of the three of us conversing in English has not been lost on me. :-) But, you know the saying: The official language of international business is "bad English".

      Our visibility workaround for the timer bug works well so far. So, as long as we are the only ones affected, "low priority" is perfectly fine for me.
