Mark, Thank you for your assistance. The fan-out worked on after I played with a dataset fan-out first. Thanks.

This functionality does work, so I suspect the problem is in your method and the tricky nature of Shape datasets. Can you give us a few more details on what exactly your dataset structure is and what you hope to achieve? Do you have multiple Shape (shp) files in a single folder? A set of folders containing shp files (maybe with the same names)? Are you doing a Feature Type fanout or a Dataset fanout? Do you want multiple output folders or just one? For example if you were doing a Feature Type fanout to the same output folder then the output file names might clash and cause data not to be written (or to be over-written). The surest way is to use a Dataset fanout. Try that and see if it works - even if it's not exactly how you want the output structured it will show whether the functionality is working or not. Also, if you have an AMC, make sure you are using at least FME2005 since the batch deploy had a major update around then.
