Methinks Holger did it this way: start up a thread or two via multitasking CMS set up a timer on one thread set up the access (or whatever) on the other thread if the access completes before the time ticks, kill the timer thread if the timer thread ticks before the access completes, kill the access thread Don't ask me about the ramifications of doing this and what happens about cleanup. Multitasking CMS was never an area I hit before I went in search of other work. I do recall that the dev group did discover some problems in the mtCMS area at the time. I would hope that they've been fixed by now. Gr., Rod
