Hi all,

I wrote a program to control the exam of my students.
The student is expected to click on cells, each click is an answer.
With the event "Selection change" a program starts and
asks if in the active folder a file with a special name (say
STOPIT.TXT) was created by the tutor or not.

If created the exam stops.

What to do if the student stops his work and will not make any event?
(Now we ask the student to do something, for example to click anywhere.)


The OnTime is not OK, because during the exam something may happen what
I did not see in advance. (no definite stop time) It must be a momentan decision of the teacher what time is the closing time. Then the tutors program creates a file
what should be noticed by the students program.

Any proposal for an event?


Thanks in advance
