when running the code,there is no error...but sometimes the result is not correctly.....
i think the problem is inside the "CheckStartList" or "CheckStopList".....

Some of your declarations are not included......
but anyway you said "sometimes" that is quite odd.

[chxxangie]

i had declared all of the variable as PUBLIC.....
