Can an EA work with the EA button disabled ?

We've just come across this awfully odd situation.

We have a trade copier EA, a master, and a receiver, and it seems that the receiver EA STILL WORKS, even when the EA button is disabled.

I'm not sure if it has something to do with the fact the EA runs in a loop (maybe also something to do with why you cannot get the properties after its running), but its only something we've just noticed and are at a loss as to how this can happen.

Any ideas ? Seen it ?
thx

It is most probably running in a loop in the 'init' section .. and never gives control to 'start' function. I guess you just have to shut down the MT to disable it.

To get to properties press F7 immediately when MT start up ..

Thx - so i suspect any EA running in a loop cannot be controlled ...

interesting, thx
