Find "Alert" or "PlaySound", type "//" in front of the line.

e.g. Change:

PHP Code
Alert("Yadayadayada");
to:

PHP Code
//Alert("Yadayadayada");

tigpips has it, if you want the code to permanently disable the alert.

If, however you want the alert to fire once and then disable it, you need to have some logic.

Hmm what error did you get? Most probably there's another conditional function or a variable value change on the same line.

Or you can post your file here. We will see how we can help you with that.

Do you have a inside bar indicator with a # 159 wingding symbol to identify the inside bar and with no alert ?
The one I have is screwed up and driving me nuts.
