One thing to be aware of is the fact that a Mutex is a machine-wide kernel object. It's a bit less efficient to use because it requires a transition to kernel mode in order to signal and wait. If you don't need cross-process synchronization, I wouldn't use a Mutex. -- Steve Johnson 3t Systems You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
