Hour Glass Problem

[searson1]

Hi, When I try to runa script by clicking on an image, an Hour Glass with esc next to it appears. I know if I press the Esc Key, it stops, but why does it appear and can I stop it from happening?

Many thanks

It's just an indication that your script is running. The hour glass cursor will remain until the script finishes. If your script is taking too long, it may be that it's processing a lot of records, or it's stuck in an endless loop.

Thank you for that! I shall not worry about it now. Phew.

If you don't want the script to be "stoppable", you have to turn "Allow User Abort" to the off state at the begining of your script.

Genx, thanks for that info - very useful. I shall implement that now.

Can you answer my question about having empty fields show up in my Layouts. (about two questions down from here).
