I seem to be stuck, and it seems like it should be simple. I need to use a number of TICN user objects in a project. I place them and create the resouces needed. They seem to work just fine, they turn on and off and update just fine. The problem is that I need to find the current state of each of them and also clear them (reset them all to active) from the software. I thought you could control them with the button stament, but it seems no. My looks though the books have been of little help, call me slow when I get beyond the basics. Thanks for any help you can provide.
