OT: Any conference fotos?

Are there any (private) conference fotos or OT stories from behind the scenes of the conference (what happened after the conference at the bar?) for the poor rest of us, who couldn't join? I know, it must have been fun. Would be nice to participate a bit Tiemo __

Re: Problem with dispatch and password protected stacks

hi Pete, I'm quite sure that dispatch isn't the cause of the problem. Probably, an execution error causes the script editor to pop up. The execution error may be related to the password protection or perhaps to an object that can't be found due to the target being messaed up (or both). -- Best
