I had someone I work with play a April Fools Joke on me. He found out it was a bad thing to mess with the programmer. I wrote a small script that using a Pause that looked like files where being deleted at the end it said April Fools. He never messed with me again :) Victor Timmons Tiz's Door Sales, Inc Visit us at www.tizdoors.com <http://www.tizdoors.com/> P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail

Then put in a nice long pause - maybe an hour or two? Then another message: "Extra ! Extra! Read all about it! Mouse resurrected! Take it easy on him now, too many clicks can kill..." Then reset your variable so that if the clicks count gets to 10... then 15... And you've got a database, you know who the user is, so you can keep a check as well and start where they left off. Isn't it nice to be feeling generous to the world today <g>, Regards, Alastair. (PS: my tongue really is deep in my cheek.)

Maybe we could think of a way to trigger a punishment for those users that keep clicking their mouse!

Never would have thought of that. Do you do anything with that vClick_count variable? Karen Karen, Here is the routine that I use in my on-click EEP. I think this will fix your problem. SET VAR vEEP_Running INTEGER IF vEEP_Running IS NOT NULL THEN RETURN ENDIF SET VAR vCLICK_COUNT = (.vCLICK_COUNT +1) recalc var pause for 1 SET VAR vEEP_Running = 1 PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TIMERENABLED 'TRUE' RETURN The EEP in the form timer clears vEEP_Running and turns the timer off. Now the Mouse Happy users can click away! John ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
