Many thanks, Bruce. That sounds like what I had in mind. Works like a champ. Only problem now is finding a way to start WatchFolder on a remote PC. Is it ok to just let it run? How much overhead will it cost? I could start it with a timer about the time I need it. Can I schedule a timer from a remote PC? Thanks , Dave
