activity firsttime

You should not use FirstTime for this.
FirstTime is true only when the process first starts. Your activity can be recreated many times while the process is kept alive.
You will need to use your own variable. Something like:
Sub Globals
Dim DuringInitialize As Boolean
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create (FirstTime As Boolean)
DuringInitialize = true
...
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume
...
DuringInitialize = false
End Sub
[/code]
