ALI-R,

The only way I can think of doing that would be to cut it from the form
(select it and hit Ctrl-X) and then select the other form and paste
(Ctrl-V).

Hope this helps.

In case you are thinking about changing timer setting on form1 then probably
you want to know about delegates, that will help in doing most of the things
you want on form1 from form2.

Thx,

I can't save the attachment ,they are disabled....
Can I add another constructor to the form having the timer and somehow
accept a reference to the timer in it?

my email is (e-mail address removed) ,,can you send the attachments to my email
address?

thank you very much
