Thanks Sarah, Your suggestions looks like a working clock. Maybe I should have been more specific. My idea about it is hat I just draw a cirkel which suggests the clock. I just want to show two clock hands which he can move clockwise so his pupils can tell time. I am looking for some scripting sug

from my experience mysql is faster than sqlite in joins, unless you manually optimise your sql queries for sqlite ;-), in most cases using subqueries. Plus mysql is multiuser and omnipresent, which matters... To make sqlite multiuser you will have to implement your own database locking mechani

Bonjour René, I think that the problem comes from the fact that sounds actually may overlap in your second proposal. Add a 'wait until the sound is "done" instead of a fixed value (10 ms) in your first proposal and all should be fine in all cases. Le 16 févr. 08 à 12:14, René Micout a écrit

If no one else needs to read your files, you can use return delimited lists, and enter htmltext there. Rev doesn't care if there's returns between the tags, so you can just strip it. Added bonus: Styled text is preserved. On 16 Feb 2008, at 22:04, Russell Martin wrote: So, I've been rea

Not using Outlook 2003, let's ask some questions first. Are there a finite number of buttons and do you already know what they are? If so, then create them all and just show or hide them on your preOpenCard script. This way you don't have to create buttons and add scripts on the fly. If you're hav
