A desk accessory is also a driver and can have the same periodic routine. My question is, does the periodic routine get called when the desk accessory is not active or selected from the apple menu? Related driver question. I have written a driver and wish to install it into the system folder. What kinds of problems might I run into if I use resedit and copy it into the system file and then open it from in my program. Is there a better way of doing this? tracy
