I'm running perfectly functional code and want to make some modifications that display more of an analysis of what it is doing. Also, I designed said program so that it picks up where it left off. That means the program can be getting some work done while I make the modifications. Then I simply stop and restart the program to view more details. <strong> This isn't hypothetical. I've created and run code of that nature. </strong> > Regards, > Rob Craig > Rapid Deployment Software > http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
