Silly mistake

[marksmithhfx]

I setup a login screen asking for username and password. Somehow I messed up and it never works. It just keeps telling me "incorrect username/password please try again". I've got a bug somewhere but, reassuringly, I can't get access to my own program. HELP! Must be some way to override this code from executing?

Thanks

Hi Mark,
The little envelope in the main menu "Messages" turn it off, that will stop code from executing.
But then I'm not sure that is what you are asking because even with a password I can still see my stacks in the project browser.

What is this "Main" menu and its "Messages?

OK, I know there is a real name for it, but it escapes me at the moment.
So, there is the tool bar... is the other one called the menu bar?
The big one with all the colored icons. Ok... the only bar where there is a Help menu.

Or did I really misunderstand the original question?

Wait a sec... Am I in the right forum? Is this my computer? Did I just type that?

Toolbar and menubar.

You really proposed to "suppress messages". This can be done from either, I think. The one from the "Development menu, and the other from the toolbar. But what is that "envelope"? Anyway, I think this will work for the OP.

Thanks everyone. You are wonderful. Actually, a good nights sleep also solved the problem. I awoke this morning with the thought "turn off messages, of COURSE! The reason that routine is even executing is because LC sent a message to it. Duh!" But you know how it is when you've just done a lot of work, and you don't want to revert back to the previous version and loose all of that, and you think you have tried everything INCLUDING turning off the little envelope thingy on the main menu, and you're starting to panic and on and on…. So, sometimes a good nights sleep is the best solution. But thank you Simon for taking the time to respond and I very much enjoyed the humor with which you delivered that bit of wisdom.

The other thought that calmed me in my moment of panic was knowing I had this message board to turn too. How comforting a thought that is.

Have a great day.

BTW, for those interested in the more technical details. The reason the routine was not working is because I was looping through a stored string looking for username/password combinations and was not finding one because LC did not know how to chunk the list. "set itemdelimiter to space" solved the problem.

Glad you came up with a solution.

If a good night's sleep doesn't work, continue through the following day. Repeat as necessary.
