It'll waste an awful lot of CPU cycles like that; I'm not sure if Win2000 has a scheduler like crontab on a Unix system, but it might be better to have it kick off once every few minutes or so from a scheduler. > 2.

No, because you're trying to open it for reading ;) Off the top of my head I can't really come up with any way to determine whether a PDF file is complete or not, but if there's a perl PDF library available somewhere I'm sure it can be of use .. I just don't know if there is one :) -- Bernhard van Staveren - madcat(at)ghostfield.com GhostField Internet - http://www.ghostfield.com/ "A witty saying proves nothing, but damn it's funny!" - me, 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
