And this is exactly why I think the use of global variables is a Bad Idea. Global variables can be set from anywhere, and trying to track down what happened and why your code isn't working the way you expect it to is a real pain. I think I can count the number of times I've had to resort to global variables on the fingers of one hand. I don't think 3AM Sunday is the issue - it's not particularly anything you did wrong, it's just that the nature of global variables encourages these problem scenarios. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
