I'm not sure what you mean, then. The thread it runs on doesn't matter, though it runs on a secondary thread precisely because the search will block the calling thread (main or otherwise). This should be consistent with the PubMed usage in BibItem_PubMedLookup. If I were designing the search groups today, I'd take a significantly different approach to the async problem, but that's not terribly relevant. I did this in my testing version of BD for BDSKPreviewer, eliminating all the crazy DO and locking. -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
