I don't know if this sheds any light on the problem but if I run the following immediately after starting the IDE for the first time:
| Code: | TIMER START,1,CHRONO,19-00:00:00
%%timer = @timer(1,v) |
then the value of %%timer is null. In the original code extract it would then skip both the if and the elsif commands and cause a non-numeric value error in the %%total_time calculation because %%seconds will be unset. If you re-run it any number of subsequent times, everything seems OK. Perhaps I'm doing something stupid, but if not, I think we might have a VDS bug here.

thanks for trying, i appreciate your effort in trying to find out what is going on here
i run win98 on my laptop and my program works just fine!
must be something about w2k i don't know...gggrrrr!!!!!!
the reason for %%time_separator_1 and %%time_separator_2 is to provide international support or is there no need for it?
jules
i am not using the timer as a chrono but as a countdown
if i was using it as a chrono then your point would be valid and i would have to allow for the @timer(1,v) being zero on the first run
thanks for your thoughts
Serge

I tested the code below(which is basically your code with a few INFO's thrown in) to test on XP Pro. I didn't have any problems at all.
Has your user kicked his computer lately? lol
Actually it's probably something simple that no one is seeing.
If you want Serge, you can e-mail me the program and I can try it here. The examples are running just fine.
Careful of the code below, you have to manually stop it.
| Code: |
timer start, 1, ctdown, @datetime(dd)-00:03:00
%%timer_status = on
:timer
wait event,1
if @equal(%%timer_status,on)
%%timer = @timer(1,v)
info @len(%%timer)
if @equal(@len(%%timer),15)
%%minutes = @substr(%%timer,9,10)
%%seconds = @substr(%%timer,12,13)
elsif @equal(@len(%%timer),14)
%%minutes = @substr(%%timer,8,9)
%%seconds = @substr(%%timer,11,12)
end
info %%Minutes - %%seconds
%%total_time = @fadd(@fmul(%%minutes,60),%%seconds)
info %%total_time
%%time_frac = @format(@fmul(@fdiv(%%total_time,@fmul(3,60)),100),2.0)
info %%time_frac
end
:evloop
wait event,1
goto @event()
:Close
exit

XP or Windows 2K? You've said both now..just wondering if you said it wrong 
If the users computer is W2K then there probably isn't a point in me testing it on XP since it could just be a W2K problem. I will anyway though if you want.

hiya snarlingsheep,
ooppsssss  you're right - i meant w2k and not xp gggrrr!!!!!
thanks for your offer to run the code for me but if the code i gave you works then my whole program will work too
so may be it is a w2k thing...but aren't xp and w2k close code wise?!?
i made some changes to the way my code extracts the minutes and seconds from @timer(1,v) and sent it to my user and am now waiting to hear from him...
thanks for your help
Serge

my user just reported that my new code now works under w2k - not sure why...
in any case, for those interested, i replaced the code to:
| Code: | %%timer = @timer(1,v)
%%length = @len(%%timer)
dialog set, text11, @substr(%%timer,@fsub(%%length,5),@fsub(%%length,2))
%%minutes = @substr(%%timer,@fsub(%%length,5),@fsub(%%length,5))
%%seconds = @substr(%%timer,@fsub(%%length,3),@fsub(%%length,2))
|
just a different way of doing the same thing
thanks for all your help
Serge
