Mike,
My apologies.... after reading your original post again, I see that I may have misunderstood. You stated that you have a "timer form" that does a count down, not that you are using the TIMER function of a form. Is this the case? If so, you probably can solve your issue and actually have a better process by using the TIMER function. I have found this function to be of great benefit and use it in several applications. Sorry for the confusion if this is the case. My processes that I confirmed are not affected by the screen saver are using the TIMER EEP function. (If you want to discuss the TIMER function, I may be able to give some input on it) -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.
