i was attempting this ontime loop as part of a network chat program that
i wrote. i've finally gotten it to work correctly.. kinda neat.

it basically reads and writes (user info/ messages) to a text file
located in a shared folder, then updates the client book's chat window
if, during this timed loop, it finds that the filesize of the chatlog
has changed.

Would you try it out and tell me how it works (if you have access to
network) ?
when you download first time, open w macros disabled, goto the 2nd
sheet and change the chatlog/userlog path to point to the common shared
folder on your network., save, close, and reopen with macros enabled.
