Thanks for the replies. I have been used to another system that shut the coolant and spindle off when you did a feed hold. It's been my experience that when the feed hold is initiated, something is not right. I wind up doing a few checks to see if the reason I pushed the feed hold is valid. Then, if it's not too far from the beginning, I'll just put the macine back at zero and restart. Otherwise, I restart the program from current position and coolant and spindle are restarted also. My old system worked pretty well and I've become "programmed" to the way it runs. so, that's the reason for the question.
I've only recently watched the scripting video and I'm just now starting to see what I can do with VB. Lot to know. Little time to learn.
Thanks
