The key thing to check is that you're definitely spawning off the MQ applications asynchronously. On Windows this means issuing the command "start App" (or similar) rather than just "App". If you run it syncronously then the trigger monitor won't get control back, and therefore won't see the next trigger message, until the first app completes. This is true for all platforms so on Unix you would use the '&' character,
Sorry if you'd already thought of this. P.
