I'm happy to see the ability to suppress the "not responding" messages, which99% of the time are just a result of slow processes and not an actual lockup.I have users that can be trigger-happy and reboot a machine as soon as they see those messages.
But I'm confused on the explanation in the final paragraph of the description. >The setting default is ON, as it is ideal to avoid the "Not >Responding" scenario. So the default is ON, which seems to me like it will suppress the"not responding" messages. So I don't have to add anything to make thishappen, which is awesome. >With the setting toggled to OFF the R:BASE front-end will no longer >check with Windows if there are pending messages to be processed. So this confuses me. It would seem like when it's ON, RBase is no longerpolling Windows and potentially displaying the "not responding". But you saythat the OFF does this. Unless I'm not understanding exactly what is meantby "checking with Windows", totally possible! Karen -----Original Message----- From: A.

In very long processes, where perhaps the user does not need to be informed, the keep alive feature may add processing time to routines. So, to allow users and developers the ability to control the keep alive logic, the KEEP_ALIVE setting has been implemented. PROPERTY APPLICATION KEEP_ALIVE ON|OFF The setting default is ON, as it is ideal to avoid the "Not Responding" scenario. With the setting toggled to OFF the R:BASE front-end will no longer check with Windows if there are pending messages to be processed. When performing long running tasks that do not need the feature, it can be set to OFF, then set back to ON afterward.
