Re: SOMETHING PRETTY BASSIC

As it turns out, the problem was caused by "explicitVariables"; something I ran into when I first started working on this project again after a very long layoff. Frankly, I don't remember how to call variables "explicitly". I'm accustomed to just creating them by putting something into the varia

This is a long shot, but I've had a situation occur several times where the script editor compiles and closes with a *technically* invalid script. The reason I say "technically" is that the script has a minor error that should cause the editor to throw an error, but instead it accepts the script,

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure that the hosts file would affect this, because setting up a new user account fixes the problem. (And the hosts file is independent of the user account, right?) Also, the firewall is not set up. Or at least it has never been manually set up and it isn't showin

Gabriel, I've never had this problem, but I'll chime in anyway -- what the heck. My  suspect is an anti-virus progam or two itching for a fight once in a while. One thing I noticed was that you used "htmlText" as a variable. Since "htmlText" is a reserved word it probably is risky to do that,

No that isn't how it works. That is what I thought as well. Send in time really means "do this after you have done everything else that is not send in time". The command will still be a blocking command. If you really want asynchronous database processing, save your query to a text file, then
