Hello scott,
That should be AutoStartEvent!
Don't get discouraged on the first try--or the second, third, fourth or
fifth! When writing any type of code--whether it's JFW Scripts, C,
Assembly, HTML, or any other type of language, expect to spend half your
time debugging that code, and eventually, the debug time gets smaller and
smaller! Remember, the people that wrote the Windows operating system
started out in the same boat you, me, and anyone else writing code! And
you'll find that the logic is easy to pick up, but the syntax is generally
the varmint in reasons why it won't compile like you want it to!
Try again!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
