Hi Vic,
the only reason why I mentioned a flag earlier that Chip shot down was
the possibility of a keydown and up possibly happening since the event has
no check other than an ID check in it.
Anything is possible and thought placing the flag would insure only one
fire instead of 2. Knowing that each program resides in different parts of
memory and different addressing, they should not be in conflict, should not,
but having the same event call back is an interesting thing, especially on a
global issue. As you say, that would be a nightmare if it were happening but
the code is the best way for all of us to resolve it.
Maybe something is going on with the keyboard and the vent gets fired
twice but that to does not make sense unless the keyboard is doing it. But
why only when global programs using the same call back, may actually do
something but highly unlikely. But, if there is error in code and is not
showing up that could cause this. Just like the beep error on some hotkey
events. So anything is possible if there is some code error that is not
caught.

Subject: RE: Problem creating an E-mail message through a menu
Aaron,
Can you try using my exact code that I placed in my original message in 2
apps to see if it happens for you too? If not, what could be causing this?
What might I be doing wrong?

Subject: Re: Problem creating an E-mail message through a menu
I created two test scripts which pop up a message box when their
respective menu items are selected. They both have the exact same menu
structure in the XML, and they're both using the same menu ids. When I
load both as global, and execute the menu item for the first one, I get
only its message box. When I execute the menu item for the second one, I
get only its message box. So, with a simple test, I'm not able to
duplicate any issue of the scripts sharing menu space.
