- Sub: System clock set back?
-
- Fellow MacAppers -
-
- We've just modified our application so that an extensive calculation cycle that
- it requires periodically can continue in the background. That works okay, but
- a side effect has cropped up that's causing a problem.
-
- Under certain circumstances (like when the user does a Save As), the
- application automatically generates duplicates of all the user's data file
- records. These records are identified via a date/time stamp from the Toolbox.
- It <appears> that when we enable our background processing code, we get
- duplicate date/time stamps for our new records because the system clock seems
- to have moved backwards by exactly 1 second. The duplicate records cause the
- system to crash during the Save As operation.
-
- Does anyone know if there are ANY circumstances under which the Toolbox sets
- the system clock back for some reason? Or if we could be doing something that
- causes that to occur?
-
- Thanks
- Lee Harris
