Hi Kevin,

I can't say for sure because I have never used them like that, but I would
not be surprised if it did cause problems. Binkley displays the currently
executing Event number, what does it do around the time of the intermediate
event?

As far as I can read in the Binkley docs, the events are processed
squentially as time goes by. So Binkley NEVER goes back and process event 3
again, if event 4 has been started for the same day. If event 4 has already
been processed, unless it is a FORCED event or the .SCD and .DAY files have
been removed. You will end up "between events" with no specific
event being processed. But that should not cause dialing to take place
(that I can see).

 KK> But that shouldn't make Binkley dial out to 'HOLD' nodes?

I would not expect so, because no event was active to cause that. HOWEVER,
I also note that you have several forced events. Do you really need these,
because these can cause issues when an event with 0 time is
"missed". I had odd problems with the Event file when including
FORCED events, so I removed them all, changed them to a 1 min duration, and
have never had a problem since then.

Cheers............pk.
