That is exactly what is happening. The shell out to FTP runs, my program has a built in pause of 5 seconds, plus a dialog box I throw up saying "import done" to buy even more time. The FTP DOS window never finishes... it doesn't finish even if all I'm doing is the FTP bit i.e. my program isn't even involved. I *could* check file size, but from the symptoms I'm seeing it would just sit there forever... -- Matt Jarvis Eugene, Oregon USA _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAPT54rZN33w7_p7s=eH3JbQQS8S26HBRZ3=nfzqqdmnth2_...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
