Hi Gerard,

 

Like the others before me, I have not seen a way to do this. Is it only an
annoyance that they exit and have to re-click the icon to start it up again?
DP is so small that it generally starts blindingly fast anyway, so if it is
just a minor aggravation, then perhaps you could wrap DP up in a batch file

 

For example:

 

@echo off

:Start

dp.exe mydpapp.str

cls

set /p answer=Do you wish to exit my Super Duper DataPerfect application?
(Y/N):

if %answer% == Y goto Exit

if %answer% == y goto Exit

if %answer% == N goto Start

if %answer% == n goto Start

:Exit

 

Then change the shortcut to the batch file. 

 

Note if you run the batch file from the command line and you have kept
pressing F7, after existing DP, the F7 key will be interpreted as requesting
the commandline history at the DOS CMD level, but if you run it from a
Windows shortcut all is fine

 

Regards

Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Exit F7 Yes / No

 

Hi all

 

I think I have used a feature before where I had to confirm that I was
leaving the database.

 

Sometimes I use F7 too many times and then I'm out of the database.

I want to be stopped just before leaving.

 

Does anyone remember this option?

 

Regards

Gerard van Loenhout
