Chris, Could the windows app update the status of a sql server table and then have your ASP.NET app read the table periodically and wait for the result. ( using the sleep ??? - not sure what will do the wait best )
If you write the excel file with a random string after the filename and save that filename to use a key and insert into the table then the windows program can mark the completed flag to Y to indicate it's done. Is the windows program running as a service ? ( always there ) Just a thought. Paul --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi All, > > I have a ASP.NET page uploading Excel file.
