Ah, so that's how it works! Now I understand. Glad the default is ON. I'm sure everyone will appreciate this benefit. Karen -----Original Message----- From: A.

Karen, Yes. The default setting for the recently implemented (Build 10.5.3.20624) "keep alive" logic is ON, which limits situations where the Windows operating system will tag R:BASE applications as "Not Responding" when a long running task is executing. R:BASE "is" polling Windows when the setting is ON, thus the application is kept alive, and the "Not Responding" tag is not assigned by the OS to R:BASE.
