You lost me. My old procedure gave a message box when it failed and that can clutter things up when my +vol macro flashes 3 times. I'm thinking a simple beep and return a false is what I want. That way I don't increment/decrement the mediaindex.volume on failures. I am a quadriplegic and I have a form to turn lights on/off, fan, stereo, cable, dvd, etc... It's based on the mediaindex.fields so I can make macros like allOff or choose CD with a predefined play list. I have many dvds and many cds all indexed that can be run from the form. Sometimes when the mediaindex.fields are invalid, my allOff macro will often turn everything on. I have a tab of checkboxes to sync everything at the start of the day. I'm just fuzzy on how to run my CallRemote procedure and return a .t. or .f.

DO FORM ... does. If the procedure is in a prg file, you'll need to SET PROCEDURE TO {(relative|absolute)path\filename} ADDITIVE Then you can call the procedure similar to how a GUI method is called. SET PROCEDURE TO "c:\alldat2\programs\CALLRemote" ADDITIVE Local returnValue returnValue = CALLRemote('c:\alldat\irctrl\amp-volup.ir') Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CF3BFB845C0C487894991A177BCBE98D@OwnerPC ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
