Anoop, If the wait needs to occur at the client (not the server) you can use a looping Active Link. Set a temp datetime field to $TIMESTAMP$ + 15 seconds. The Run If for the next AL would be $TIMESTAMP$ < TmpDatetimeField. In this AL you would have one GoTo command that loops back on itself. This AL would continue looping until 15 seconds had passed.
The only downside to this approach is somewhat high CPU utilization.

Well, assuming it's a server Run Process action and not a Set Fields $PROCESS$ action, then I don't understand what you're saying, Jarl. How can it affect a server thread? A Run Process is a phase-three event where the AR Server simply executes the command in a shell without waiting for any return codes. It sounds as if Anoop needs to wait for one process to finish before starting the next. In Unix/Linux shells, you can perform sequential events by placing a semicolon between each command. Here's a trivial example: $ cd /etc; ls -al In Windows, you can do the same thing with an ampersand, like this: > cd c:\windows\system32 & dir If you still need to sleep between the commands, you can insert the sleep command on Unix/Linux: $ cd /etc/; sleep 5; ls -al Windows doesn't come with a sleep or wait command, but there are workarounds.

This is not a good solution. You then occupia a server thread for 15 seconds. Imagine if you got 200 users doing this. Why do you need to wait 15 seconds? -- Jarl On 11/30/06, Eric Cleereman (IT) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** > > Hi Anoop, > > One method is to create a run process after the first which issues a > sleep command.
