Hi Rick Today I employed a delay in programs 2, 3,4, & 5 on both PCs [5 sec, 10sec, 15sec, & 20sec]
So Program 1 on both machines which uses currency-pair EURCAD start immediately on the hour and hopefully finishes before 5 secs is up Then Program 2 on both machines kicks off etc. So far, I have had no errors involving missing drivers etc. In addition, I get a new record added to each database each hour My problem was a timing issue involving instances of derby opening while another instance was already opened I don't know how to better my 'work-around' Bob M -- Sent from: http://apache-database.10148.n7.nabble.com/Apache-Derby-Users-f95095.html
