Chuck,


[1] Can I declare an object to be a button? And run scripts when it is clicked on?

A button, a locked field, an image, a graphic, and a window (the card itself) can all initiate & respond to mouse events.


[2] The Enterprise version is ODBC-aware? Then I should be able to find a way to hook into it via AppleScripting for changing data. However, command/control and inter-operability with other apps would still be something of an issue.

It's been discussed on the list; but I have not followed the thread.


[3] How does Rev deal with the passage of time and Idle() activities? Can it be set to check for a change in status? Or does it require an outside agent to activate a script? Example: Every 60 seconds do myCheck(). Or does something have to nudge it, as an external applescript would do by calling a ScriptMaker script inside of an FMP datafile?

Revolution supports idle messages; but the use of on idle handlers is discouraged...in favor of


 send "message" [to control] in time [seconds|ticks|milliseconds].
