hi @romerofreire7z3 đź‘‹ Did you try using the `Painel.Starts` event instead of `Painel.Opens`? This should run each time this screen is displayed. Thanks. ---

Hi @domhnallohanlon! Yes I’d try OPEN, START and both and nothing works. Thanks. ---

Now that I look a little closer, I think this might have more to do with the time taken to complete the 3 function you call on startup. Is there a particular reason for running the `ProcLeMensagem` function twice? Also, can you share a screenshot of the `FuncDataCorrenteInvertidaYYYYMMDD` function too? Is this function declared on the `Painel` screen? ---

Well I call ProcLeMensagem twice in a desperated shoot. The function FuncDataCorrenteInvertidaYYYYMMDD is declared and follows the code: ![01_Problema_03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/1/e1c53fcf9933cbf76863ebdf24ea99eda7379cbf.png) Thanks Thanks. ---

What sets the initial value of “contmensagem”? I see you have logic to increment it, but nothing showing what value it starts with. ---

Hi my friends! I got the solution. I rewrote the code, tooking off the function and did some changes. And I works. Thanks @domhnallohanlon and @CBVG for the help. ![01_Problema_04_Solu%C3%A7%C3%A3o](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/f/2fc9510c70717c4bc7c8fa17ab1ff2f3da9e2a48.png) ---
