> For something like this, I generally have a scheduled task for a given application that executes every 5 minutes (or whatever is appropriate).
I may be able to do this. Sound feasible. Now here's the next thought. How can I tell if a program is already running in an application? Its possible the program could be running already on the next scheduled run. If that's true, I don't want to start a second occurrence. How can I tell if the program is already executing and ensure only one occurrence of the program runs? I don't see anything on that in the documentation, although, I may not be looking in the right place. I looked at CFTHREAD, but that does not look like it deals with multiple invocations of the same program. Thanks Robert B.
