It activates the background tasks that you can assign using HB_BACKGROUNDADD() and related functions.

Enrico,
Did you posted the message on Harbour Developers´s list?.
Maybe you can also use a timer.
Best regards.

Tried. Unfortunately, as I remembered, the timer doesn't work if there is a loop without a SysRefresh() inside it. ![]()

I confirm that a timer is not the same as background function. As I understand it, xharbour implements background processing in lack having better support for mt. Harbour on the other hand, seems to support mt quite well, thus you could simply submit a job to 2nd thread thus redering a better result than running a background job.

Reinaldo,
I don't want to have multithread applications, at least for the moment.
