I use a timer form 24 hours per day. I do not remember having any issues with the screen
saver, but have just turned one on to see if it does conflict. In the meantime, check to insure that you do not have stand by enabled in your screen saver. This will certainly stop the timer form. Right click on desktop properties screen saver tab power tab insure that system standby is set to "never" I will confirm if my screen saver conflicts with the timer. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ramsour Mike" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 9:34:19 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - Form timer issue Good morning: I created a timer form that does a countdown. Once a given amount of time passes the calling program closes the form and continues on its merry way. The form works exactly as intended except that if the computer is in screen saver mode the program stays paused until I log back into the R:BASE session. Here's the code that runs the form: SET VAR VDB TEXT = ( CVAL ( 'DATABASE' )) IF VDB <> 'ZANEDATA' AND # TIME BETWEEN '06:00:00' AND '06:10:00' THEN CLEAR VAR V % TIME , VSECS , VDISPLAY SET VAR VCRNT_TIME TIME = .# TIME SET VAR VTRGT_TIME TIME = ( RTIME ( 6 , 10 , 0 )) SET VAR VSECS INTEGER = (. VTRGT_TIME - . VCRNT_TIME ) SET VAR VDISPLAY INTEGER = . VSECS EDIT USING COUNTDOWN CLEAR VAR V % TIME , VSECS , VDISPLAY , VDB ENDIF And here's the EEP in the form: WHILE #TIME < . VTRGT_TIME THEN SET VAR VSECS INTEGER = (. VTRGT_TIME - .#TIME) SET VAR VDISPLAY INTEGER = . VSECS RECALC VARIABLES SKIP TO VDISPLAY ENDWHILE CLOSEWINDOW RETURN Is there some way around the screen saver issue or have I done something wrong? As always any assistance is greatly appreciated.
