Hi Randy, As Klaus mentioned, when the 'Cancel' button is pressed, not only is "it" set to empty, but "the result" is also set to "Cancel". If the user leaves the dialog blank by pressed 'OK', then both "it" and "the result" are set to empty. - on mouseUp ask "Are you a bunny?" if

Hi Randy: Klaus is right -- you should only need to test for "cancel" in the result. If you don't receive that, any other value, including empty, is a valid user choice. You probably already know you can "ask..." with a preset value, so you could also compare against an expected result.

Perfectly explained Lynn. The SQLite website is full of caveats about directly addressing SQLite dbs over a network, mainly because they use the native file system locking mechanisms which, they claim, don't work very well in a networked environment. Having said that, the SQLite website is

A memory database won't time out and close the connection, so those you don't have to worry about closing. Also, a memory database can only be used by one person by the nature of what it is so you won't have concurrent write problems. A memory database is an exception, and for obvious reasons
