Hi Mark,

Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to get to the message. I'm trying to ring the bell from within a form method called from a timer's TimerEvent(). Would you happen to know anything about "the API call" or "workarounds" that Macer refers to?

An interesting aside (or new UT "feature"):

When I retrieved your message, for some reason I clicked on "Previous" at the bottom of the message. I was surprised to find it put me into thread #222507, Message #222542 (the previous message to the one you pointed me to). I just clicked on "Next" and I was right there. No need to go into Calendar or anything. Maybe it's because the very last part of your message is a PUTM auto-link - so I ended up at the "Previous" page to that one!

Alas, as a sysop you're probably duty-bound to report this to Michel...

Regards. Al
