The users had a VFP app that created the data for the mail merges, and then I logged the network files to a "queue" table whereby the slave PC then read the queue table and processed them as needed every 'n' minutes. It got around a licensing problem that they had, as the VFP app would hang when too many people tried to run Office at the same time. (They had a low limit, iirc.) The solution worked perfectly, got rid of the "hanging" problems, won me the company's highest award, and a nice little bonus! ;-)
