texte = The meta refresh idea will work (see my earlier post) - but your best idea is to combine it with a time tracking database. So when your meta refresh occurs the templates looks into the tracking database and checks to see if the last instance of writefiles was at least 5 minutes ago. If so look into the appropriate SIMS folder and check to see if it contains files from the previous batch. If the folder is clean then it processes the next batch and updates the time tracking database. IF not, it waits for the next cycle and tries again. By combining meta refresh with a tracking database AND looking into the mail folder, you have a pretty complete solution. Also with this methodology you can do some advanced error checking - like checking to see if x cycles have failed and if so send a notifier to you that something is amiss (as long as whatever is amiss doesn't stop the notifier email from going that is).Marty Schmid >At 8:08 AM 12/9/99, Jay Van Vark wrote: >>> How about a meta refresh in 2 seconds that loads the next series... >>> > >That's a great idea.... except that the refresh would have to be more like >5 minutes.
