Hi there, Can anybody help. Is there a way to activate or deactivate a rule from within another rule? I have an application where, if this is possible, will make my programming much more elegant. Thanks for the help. Regards

Create a proxy item like Rule01_active. You can set this item to on or off via another rule or manually in the sitemap. Add an if statemant to your existing rule so it only gets executed when Rule01_active is on.
