Thanks Aaron, the user specifiable refresh rate is what I have running now,
kind of a polling mechanism I guess. I was wondering how I would go about
replacing that with an event driven version, I will have a look at that
IBAlerter and go from there. Any other recommendations would be welcome...
Many thanks
