Well, not sure that has any benefit by itself versus just checking if the file exists. >I would make a retry loop, say 5 times with a sleep in between >and break out if file found Okay, yeah this is more the piece I was looking for, a way to find the file quickly if it is there, while also ensuring that the page won't hang waiting for it if it doesn't complete. Yeah, this should work nicely, thanks!
