Hello Tamar,

what are you using as replacement?

TIA

>I have bitter experience that tells me _TALLY can't be trusted in an application that uses timers. I'd standardized on _TALLY years ago, and then worked on an application with a timer. Some of the hardest to find bugs involved the timer firing between the code that set _TALLY and the code that used it. Once I figured out what was going on, I ripped _TALLY out of the application entirely.
