[quote=“ilikebeer”]Thanks Jordan,
Makes sense what you said about the scan updating the count each time it would run. Yep, that would definitely be a bad idea. I tried many different ways to make your solution work, but could never it get it to do so properly, most of the time it wanted to do, just as you said, increase every scan. So, been searching around the site for alternatives and came across a posting from you, “Event Meter” where you were trying to do exactly what i want to accomplish. I read it several times and been looking for the “Event Meter” and can not locate it. Just looking to count up one, every time the earlier mentioned condition became true. Adding 100 would be the goal, but I can multiply that in later.
Can you direct me to what you called the “Event Meter”
Thanks again[/quote]
Wow. Need my wayback hat for that one…
